Beipu town

The charming local conditions and customs of Beipu, from Jin Guangfu mansion, Tianshui hall to CI Tiangong, all tell the story of the prosperous scenery of Beipu history.

Jin Guangfu residence

Founded in 1835, Jin Guangfu mansion is an office jointly established by Jiang xiuluan and Zhou bangzheng. "Jin" refers to the official and also means auspicious. "Guang" and "Fu" are defined as Guangdong (Guangdong) and Fujian (Fujian). Jin Guangfu residence records the pioneering history of Fujian Hakka ancestors in neishan of Hsinchu. The architecture combines the ancient style of Fujian Hakka architecture with the simple and powerful architectural art of cultivating society. Jin Guangfu residence, together with the "Tianshui hall" nearby, has been listed as a national first-class historic site.

Tianshui Hall

Tianshui hall is the former residence of Jiang xiuluan, the head of reclamation. It is the largest residential building in Beipu settlement. Jiang xiuluan was a great exploiter of Beipu. Because Jiang's junwangtang was named Tianshui County, it was named Tianshui hall. Tianshui hall, with xiuluan mountain as Leshan, is a three courtyard structure. The gate building is shaped like a swallow tail, and the steps have a large table. It is known as one of the most beautiful gate buildings in the whole platform. The courtyard wall is made of washed stones, which is quite different from the style of Chinese style buildings. This wall was built in the Japanese occupation era. The inner wall is paved with stone slabs, while the outer wall is paved with cobbles. The descendants of the Jiang family still live here and are not open to visitors.

Citian Palace

As the center of people's beliefs and public activities, CI Tian palace is the largest and most magnificent temple in tai'ai area. It is also the place for local people's meetings, folk activities, and market space. The development of Beipu's streets is the end point of the main street. The main worship of citian palace is Guanyin Bodhisattva, accompanied by the goddess of heaven, Emperor Wugu Shennong, Emperor Wenchang, King Sanshan, Emperor Sanguan, empress Zhusheng, and God fudezheng. Besides, they are worshipped by Tanshui Tongzhi Li Siye, Jiang xiuluan, and Jiang ronghua. Because of the Joint Worship of the gods, the separation of the ancestral home of the reclamation people in Fujian and Guangdong is weakened.
