| History |
|
Dahshi was named Da Kekan in antiquity. It
has developed over 200 years, ever since the Ching Dynasty.
Since it is convenient for transportation to and from Taipei
City, it became a popular place for business. Towards the end
of the Ching Dynasty, Dahshi rapidly developed, and with the
export of tea and camphor, it prospered more and more. The era
of Japanese rule was the golden age of Dahshi; unfortunately,
after 1928, when excavations interfered with water transport,
it gradually fell into a decline. In recent years, the relics
of its culture, preserved and revived by the Taoyuan district
government, make the days of its greatest prosperity live again
for us.

held its grand opening as an art center, presided over by
the Department of Cultural Affairs, Taoyuan City Government.
The main building was converted for artistic and cultural
activities. It is divided into an exhibition space (the original
Public Hall, 1932), an art gallery (the original Chiang Kai-Shek
