Linbei is the best around here! The Hakka farming culture of “Linbei Ka-ho”! This unique Linbei greeting comes from Yunlin County’s largest “northern Hakka” settlement, where Hakka people originally concentrated in Hsinchu and Miaoli areas. The Life Hall preserves the tobacco-curing barns born of the early tobacco industry, exhibiting and promoting Hakka village farming culture. Together with the surrounding learning gardens and cultural tunnels, visitors can admire butterflies while learning about Linnei Township’s distinctive features and history. Linbei Community still has 23 tobacco barns standing. According to historical records, around 1939 the Japanese introduced tobacco to Taiwan and built these barns. Yunlin County was one of Taiwan’s main tobacco-producing regions, and the best-preserved and most complete concentration of barns today lies along the Zhuoshui River in this Hakka area.
