"Lin Antai Historic House: Elegant, simple and down-to-earth Southern Fujian architecture with a poetic and Zen feel."

#Taipei Attractions Lin Antai's historic house showcases the elegant, simple and down-to-earth spirit of southern Fujian architecture, and through the architectural design philosophy, it also bears witness to the wealth and scholarliness of its former owner. Today, it has become a precious cultural relic, not only witnessing the tide of the times, but also becoming an excellent place for contemporary people to explore the soul of traditional culture. Passing through the antique crescent gate, you will see a row of rooms with carved beams and painted buildings, and the wood carvings are exquisite and detailed. Walking around to the main hall, you can see a symmetrical layout with two tunnels serving as walkways and a spacious patio in the center. The simple and heavy column bases, exquisitely carved horse stools and cabinets in the courtyard fully demonstrate the ingenuity of traditional craftsmanship. Walking to the backyard, the old trees with tangled roots and the gentle breeze add a refreshing atmosphere to the entire old house. There are corridors beside the pond, and the water in the pond flows gently, coexisting harmoniously with the surrounding green garden scenery, which is full of poetic Zen flavor.
