Street food and a timber house

Zhongping Road (中平路) has clothing shops and snacks including scallion pancakes, meatballs and peanut candy. Zhongping Road Story House (中平路故事館) occupies former civil-servant housing built with timber and mortise-and-tenon joints. Its interpretation includes tatami rooms and a cooking space, preserving memories of local domestic life.

Police quarters, teachers’ homes and a river

Lijing Town (壢景町) reuses three former police-residence buildings for exhibitions, food and local products. Lixiao Story Forest (壢小故事森林) retains old trees and Japanese-style teachers’ housing, with picture-book, tea and craft spaces. The Laojie River Education Centre (老街溪河川教育中心) converts two Hakka courtyard homes into displays about river restoration and ecology.
