Taiwan's century-old villa in Kinmen undergoes restoration, connecting locals to historic cultural heritage.

Through exhibitions, artist-in-residence programs, and cultural routes, the Kinmen County Cultural Bureau aims to bring the ancient structures closer to the public and allow them to experience the cultural significance.

Yellow Zhi-bin Building and Dong Yu-yue Building, two of the restored structures, were built in the 1920s and 1930s, respectively. The buildings were once key defense points and have since undergone various transformations, including being used as a church and an inn. The restoration of these buildings will now make them integral parts of Kinmen's cultural heritage.

The exhibitions will showcase the history and cultural value of the buildings, while the artist-in-residence programs will bring creativity and inspiration to the community, allowing people to appreciate the beauty and cultural value of the buildings.

The cultural routes, a new policy implemented by the Kinmen County Cultural Bureau, aim to connect Kinmen's ancient buildings, scenic spots, and cultural resources, enabling the public to experience the island's cultural significance through these routes. This policy will allow people to become more familiar with the ancient buildings and appreciate the cultural significance, while also promoting the development and utilization of cultural resources.
