Taiwan Folk Village

　　Taiwan Folk Village is an international, diversified, comprehensive leisure resort that integrates seven major themes: Taiwanese history, historical sites, folklore, culture, education, recreation, and leisure. It is located in a valley on the eastern Bagua Plateau in Huatan Township, Changhua County, and is one of the attractions within the Bagua Mountain Buddha Recreation Area of the Bagua Mountain Scenic Area. Established in 1989 by the chairman of Jinjingshan Industrial Co., Ltd., it officially opened on December 11, 1993, covering a total area of 52 hectares.

　　The entrance gate of Taiwan Folk Village is modeled after the west gate of the old Changhua County city (now the historic Changhua City). The three characters “慶豐門” (Qingfeng Gate) on the gate symbolize the resort’s entrance and serve as its spiritual emblem. The park is divided into several areas: the Visitor Service Area, Yesterday’s Taiwan Area, Today’s Taiwan Area, Nature Education Area, Mountain and Forest Heritage Area, Time-Travel Theater Area, and Leisure Resort Area. Among them, the Xiaoyue Mountain Villa Leisure Resort Hotel, with 132 rooms, is the best choice for fixed-point tourism in central Taiwan.

　　Visitors should note that due to poor management, Taiwan Folk Village was acquired by Huang Ailun, head of Dafoshan Co., Ltd., who obtained the debt rights for over NT$1.56 billion. After the property transfer was completed at the end of October 2011, the site has been operated by Dafoshan Co., Ltd. Currently, except for film crews, the park is temporarily closed to the public, but Xiaoyue Mountain Villa remains in normal operation.
