I learned a lot, but it helps if you already have an interest in the historical expansion of Buddhism in China. This museum is very accommodating to foreigners. All of the English descriptions were just as informative as the Mandarin signs, and the volunteers used English to thoroughly explain the museum facilities. I also loved the sections on epitaphs and Confucius, but there was no extra info via audio tour. Note: the snack bar is cashless and the full service restaurant is near the Wood Carving Museum, which is near the monastery; this museum is a separate complex. Bus time were well displayed. I spent all day here. I really enjoyed my visit.

KOKOMU is the new generation of the company named “HaiShan Handcrafts”, founded in 1969 by three Shih brothers. In the early 1960’s, lumber industry exploded and there were more than 450 woodcraft factories in Puli, Taiwa. HaiShan Handcrafts being one of them, produced large quantities and varieties of Christmas decorations, such as Christmas pyramids, wooden incense puppets, and many export products. HaiShan Handcrafts was one of the very few companies that specialized in nutcrackers and wooden music boxes. In 2012, HaiShan changed the path, from a traditional handcraft shop into a tour factory, mainly focused on wooden music boxes where tourists have hands-on and DIY experiences. With our profound and professional woodcraft experience of the past, KOKOMU has turned the page of traditional OEM to a new chapter, creating and establishing our own brand, designing, developing, producing and marketing our own products. We’ve now created a space within our factory to display and introduce Puli’s woodcraft culture and history, to let people learn and understand the true art and the value of woodcrafters. With our new business model and goals, we are focusing on refining traditional, rough woodcrafts into exquisite gifts. We promote a “Do-It-Yourself” concept. Through Music Box DIY, you can raise the value of your gifts to your loved ones to priceless.
