Nearly all of the displays have English translations and the outdoor area is quite picturesque. I spent about an hour here.

Mr. Gu Xianrong was one of the key people responsible for communicating with the Japanese in Taipei City at the time. With his communicative political skills, he reduced the Japanese's early acceptance of Taiwan's killing. It also laid a foundation for the Gu family for a hundred years. The cultural relics museum also accepts the display of nearby cultural relics, such as the traditional Chinese medicine museum. The cultural relics on display are properly stored. The introduction explained that the Gu family donated all the land and the ground objects. Thanks to their selfless dedication, we can have the opportunity to understand the flourishing
