Dr. Lee Kecheng's Former Residence, County-level heritage residence in North District, Taiwan.
Dr. Lee Kecheng's Former Residence is a county-level protected house in Xingnan Village, Taiwan, built in traditional wooden construction. The interior retains its original layout, with several rooms that still hold furnishings and personal objects from the time the family lived there.
The house was built in 1943 as the home of Dr. Lee Kecheng, who played a notable role in education and community life in Taiwan. It was constructed during a period of deep social change on the island.
The rooms still hold personal objects and furnishings that belonged to the family, giving a sense of daily life in mid-20th-century Taiwan. The way the interior is arranged reflects the habits and priorities of an educated household from that era.
The residence is open most days, and guided tours are available to help visitors understand what they are seeing in each room. Checking tour times before arriving makes it easier to plan the visit around the guided option.
The garden surrounding the house keeps its original layout from the 1940s, with plants and pathways typical of traditional Taiwanese homes of that period. Walking through it gives a sense of how outdoor space was used as an extension of the home rather than just decoration.
