National Center for Traditional Arts

I have never been here, so any comments are most welcome. From the map, it looks like a huge park, containing a temple, kiln, scholar's residence, art education theater, library, exhibit hall, and restaurants, all running along the Dong-Shan River.


On weekends starting at 10am, they have a number of activities for children. During Chinese New Year, they will be held daily.

Ilan County, Wu Jie Xiang, Ji Xin Tsun, Wu Han Road Sec 2, No. 201

Entry: 150/person, children under 110cm free, discounts for groups of 20 or more or residents of Ilan County.
