Zhuzihu Ponlai Rice Foundation Seed Field Story House

The Zhuzihu Ponlai Rice Foundation Seed Field Story House, located in Beitou District, Taipei, is a historic building nestled within Yangmingshan National Park. Originally established in 1923 as a center for Japonica rice cultivation, it played a crucial role in the management and distribution of Ponlai rice. After Taiwan's transition from Japanese to Chinese rule in 1945, the building served various purposes, including a military training center, before being designated a historic site in 2009. Opened to the public in 2015, the story house features exhibitions that highlight the local agricultural history and the significance of Ponlai rice, making it an intriguing destination for tourists and researchers interested in Taiwan's agricultural heritage.
