霧峰林家宅園，述說著台灣近300年的故事。These buildings and gardens describe nearly 300years history of Taiwan.
歷史建築之所以有趣，是因為其為穿越時空的象徵，一個曾經在此發生過故事的證明。而這些建築物，見證了當時主人翁居住與此的種種故事，陪伴著他們經歷過歡樂與淚水。
拉開Google衛星地圖，驚喜發現水泥色中一大群的紅瓦歷史宅邸，這裡是國定古蹟－霧峰林家宅園，述說著台灣近300年的故事。霧峰林家宮保第，是五進十一開間的閩式官宅，也是全台僅存的清代一品官宅。
霧峰林家包含頂厝、下厝、與萊園三大部分，宮保第，為太子太保或太子少保等一品官宅第 的稱呼，林文察為清朝朝廷捐軀而追封太子少保，在此，宮保第指的是下厝的宅第稱號。
後來林家林朝棟於中法戰爭協助清廷擊退法國軍隊，擁有了台灣良田與樟腦專賣權，使霧峰林家成為巨富。至於樟腦為何那麼賺？那是因為當時樟腦可是1880年代無煙火藥配方之一，可增加了火藥的穩定性，便於搬運及運輸。
下厝建築群於2014年整修後開放參觀，傳統建築之美以及精緻的雕刻裝飾等，都讓訪客驚嘆不已，最經典的為裡頭精美豪華的福州式戲臺大花廳，蔡依林與安室奈美惠合作的I'm Not Yours的MV，就是在這裡取景。
參觀霧峰林家古建築群，一定要留意導覽時間，可上網預約，若是國定連假或春節可現場參加定時定點導覽，跟著導覽員漫步穿梭在各廳院間，會發現藏身在建築背後更深一層的含意及古典美學。
官保第園區旁還有同樣為國定古蹟，2020年才首次開放的頤圃，始建於1906年，完成於1914年，這個區域早期為霧峰林家帳房與穀倉之用，後期則是霧峰林家私人招待所，這裡有更多精彩的故事及建築設計，這裡就不劇透，親自來探訪吧！
頤圃目前僅開放假日參觀，可官網預約或是現場購票，園區無自由參觀，需專人定時導覽。固定時間為10:30、14:00、16:00，一日三場，約一小時。

A historic building is the time traveler that it's a "witness" to what had happened here and experienced all the histories with those people who lived here, whether tears or laughter.
When you click the Google Earth map at south of Taichung, you will notice a large area of red brick historic houses where is the national historical site – Wufeng Lin Family Mansion and Garden. These buildings and garden describe nearly 300years history of Taiwan. Wufeng Lin's Gongbaodi is a five hall -buildings with eleven blocks which is quiet huge comparing to other historic building at the same age in Taiwan.
The historical site comprises 3 parts: the Lower Mansion, the Upper Mansion, and the Lai Garden. Gongbaodi of the lower mansion, means the residence of first grade officer in Qing Dynasty. Lin's ancestor laid down his life for Qing dynasty in 1864 and the emperor canonized him as Princes Shaobao (means princes' tutor or mentor) which is the first-grade officer at the time.
In 1885, one member of Lin's was conferred the exclusive right to sell rice and camphor which make the Lin's obtain huge property. You might be curious, why did they get rich because of camphor? It is because camphor was a key material for making smokeless powder in 1880 which increased the stability of fire powder then make it easier for transportation. Almost 70% of camphor were from Taiwan in late 19th century.
The Lower Mansion was reopened for public since 2014 after renovation and repairing from earthquake damage. Those aquiculture and decoration are eye-catching to visitors. The most classic must-see is the exquisite and luxurious Dahuating (Big Parlour) with a gorgeous stage. A famous Taiwanese signer Jolin and Namie Amuro had filmed a co-work music video here.
