The Wufeng Lin family, listed as one of the five major families, is famous in Taiwan's history. They originated in Wufeng, Taichung (formerly known as Atabu). Their ancestors came from Pinghe County, Zhangzhou, Fujian, and crossed the sea to Taiwan as early as the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. By helping to quell the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Chao-chuen Tai incident, and the Sino-French War, they not only won the honor of "Junior Guardian of the Crown Prince" but also mastered the significant camphor monopoly and military power at the time, becoming one of the most influential gentry families in Taiwan during the Qing Dynasty.

The Wufeng Lin Family Mansion and Garden has three parts: the "Lower Mansion," the "Upper Mansion," and the "Laiyuan." The representatives of the Lower Mansion, Wen-Cha Lin and Chao-Dong Lin, had outstanding military achievements. The Upper Mansion is well known for the contributions of Xian-Tang Lin to culture, education, and politics.

Besides the main building, "Gongbaodi," the garden also includes the "Great Flower Hall" for entertaining guests and watching plays, and the "Caocuo," restored to its appearance in the 1930s, symbolizing the place where the Lin family prospered. The most eye-catching thing about the Grand Flower Hall is the Fuzhou-style stage and the octagonal caisson ceiling. Exquisitely carved with peony patterns, the roof symbolizes wealth. In the past, this place was an entertainment space and a multifunctional "guest house" where the Lin family held family banquets, opera performances, and political meetings. When you come here, you may sign up to wear ancient costumes or print silk fans, or you can listen to a guided tour, enjoy refreshments, appreciate traditional music performances, and feel the cultural heritage of the aristocratic family in a quiet atmosphere.
