Taichung, Wufeng: Yilu Congress Hall and Lin Family Garden
The Yilu Congress Hall, formerly the Taiwan Provincial Congress Hall, has transformed into a historic site designated by Taichung City. Alongside the former Provincial Consultative Council, it forms the Legislative Yuan Democratic Assembly Affairs Park. For those interested in the history of Taiwan's parliamentary democracy, the diverse exhibits here will surely satisfy.
Within the Yilu Congress Hall, you'll find Chinese restaurants, cafes, and guest rooms. The golden signage along the corridors and the visually striking spiral staircase in the main hall evoke a sense of the political landscape of the past. The Yilu Congress Hall restaurant, operated by the Wufeng Farmers' Association, serves local specialty rice, and dishes sourced from the mountains and the sea.
The Lin Family Garden in Wufeng bears witness to Taiwan's history. Built in 1858, this grand traditional residence and garden complex once belonged to the influential Lin family, one of Taiwan's five major families, and served as their living quarters and banquet venue. Today, it stands as one of the few well-preserved Taiwanese Minnan-style architectural complexes, featuring Qing dynasty-style official residences and a Fuzhou-style opera stage called the Grand Flower Hall. With an informative guided tour system, visitors can easily understand the history of the hall and Taiwan's century-long development.
