Pinglin Tea Industry Museum

　　The Pinglin Tea Industry Museum is located at No. 19-1, Shuisengqikeng, Shuide Village, Pinglin Township. It is a quadrangle courtyard building in the Minnan Anxi architectural style, covering an area of 2.7 hectares. The surrounding area is planned as a sightseeing tea plantation, and there are two tea art houses, Zizhu Tower and Mingyue Tower, where visitors can enjoy tea. Inside, there are five main sections: the Exhibition Hall, the Thematic Activity Hall, the Multimedia Hall, the Tea Art House, and the Promotion Center. These sections clearly present both the material and spiritual aspects of tea culture. The Thematic Activity Hall updates its theme every three months; the Multimedia Hall uses 3D animation to vividly present tea knowledge through dramatic performances. Since opening in January 1997 (the 86th year of the Republic of China), the museum has attracted numerous visitors to Pinglin Township and boosted local tourism development.
