Arts and heritage contribution

To address the absence of a national-class theater in Yunlin County and to create a superior performance venue for artistic teams, YunTech has proposed a plan to elevate the YunTech Auditorium Performance Hall to national-class status. This initiative aims to fulfill the needs of both the audience and performing arts activities. By the end of 2021, Yunlin County will boast the Yuntai Performance Hall, providing a high-quality performance space at YunTech.

These research centers bear the responsibility of preserving and passing down local folklore, traditional culture, language, and knowledge. Each year, these research centers closely interact with the government and communities, dedicating their efforts to the preservation of local culture, the revitalization of cultural artifacts, and the promotion of cultural heritage. They play a significant role and have influence in the field of cultural heritage.
