Luzhunan Ancestral Homes: the preservation of traditional architecture

Luzhunan in Toufen Township, Miaoli County, is an old community with a history of 300 years. With more than 50 Fujian-style traditional courtyard homes remaining, Luzhunan has been promoting educational and cultural activities to revitalize the community. Through guided tours of the community and hands-on activities, Luzhunan hopes Taiwanese culture and folk customs will be better understood by the public and kept alive for future generations to come.

Full of retro flavor, the ancestral homes of Luzhunan transport one back to yesteryear. Though traditional courtyard homes were a central part of life for countless generations of people in Taiwan, few such homes remain today due to government industrialization policies. We are fortunate that the beauty of living in traditional courtyard homes and working together as a harmonious community can still be experienced in Luzhunan.

蘆竹湳古厝 看見傳統建築的保留

苗栗縣頭份鎮的蘆竹湳是擁有三百年歷史的老社區，留有五十多座的閩式三合院，這個聚落以活化社區、教育推廣與藝文活動為主軸，藉由社區導覽、課程體驗與活動參與，讓台灣早期文化與民間習俗能被傳承與了解。

頭份蘆竹湳古厝，帶大家回到從前那個年代的時光，充滿著復古的味道，三百年前的老祖先，飄洋過海來到這裡開闢家園，三合院乘載著世世代代的人生階段，而工業化的的政策，卻讓聚落一絲殘存，所幸不變的是聚落的美麗，及每個人努力共存的種種回憶。
