Miaoli Hakka Round House

Stop by to learn more about Hakka culture and buy bar soap. If not, it’s nothing much. Conveniently beside HSR station. Free entry.

For me that I am a foreigner this round historical building is unique and amazing as I had never seen something similar as a building.nnI liked that there was some exposition and I kind of museum, which talked about the food of Hakka, their dresses, utensils, objectes etc although maybe I would have preferred it to be more related to the life in that particular Hakka building instead of general Hakka culture.nnThe entrance anyway was free and there was a shop inside but the shop had objects very expensive and it is a pity since I wanted to get some souvenir. Also, although the perfume was good, they had many chemicals in their products.nnInside at the center of the building a band was playing some music.nnOutside there is a beautiful small river and also some seller like local market association (something like that) where you can try typical Hakka products such as different herbal teas and buns. Only point is I am vegan and I ate a vegan bun and it tasted so much of meat that I had to throw it and spit it...i thought it still had meat...nSome other people also sell plants there and other things.nnA must to see for sure!

Nice building and scenery but not much to see. Entry is free and you can appreciate/understand more about Hakka culture. However, words are all in Chinese. Building is pretty small too and there’s nothing much in the vicinity to visit. If you have time to kill at miaoli HSR station I would recommend coming here. If not, I do not think it is worth the effort going out of your way to visit the round house

Special architecture to show Hakka culture. No entry fee and there is exhibition inside.

A scenic spot with some exhibitions and stories of hakka culture.
