Center history

The center began as the Jiaobanshan guesthouse for Japanese crown prince, and numerous member of the Japanese royal family used the guesthouse as a holiday destination during the Japanese occupation peiord.

After the retrocession in 1949, it became the presidential guesthouse and became a military controlled area, making it more inaccessible to the public. The river terrace area of Jiaobanshan looks very similar to Chiang Kai-shek’s ancestral home, which led him to spend a good portion of his time here, reminiscing. During winter, the plum blossoms throughout the area, set against the mountains and rivers has led this area to be known as the Lushan of Taiwan.

The Fuhsing center was established in 1976 to cater for the youths of Taiwan, and has held many different activities and events. In 1992, the main building was burnt down, leaving only the stone foundations and pillar behind. With the assistance of the Taoyuan county government and Fuhsing township office, work began on the same site on July 2, 1998, for the new multi-functional four-story structure with a basement. The second building, Xunfengge, was renovated after concerns of the original Japanese structure was becoming dilapidated. It maintained most of the simple Japanese style, and was reopened on October 31, 1999.

The beauty of Jiaobanshan is simple and elegant, created from the waterfall and clouds intertwining through the mountains. The guesthouse further adds to the historical value of the area.
