The Wufeng Lin family is one of Taiwan's Five Major Families. The founder of Lin family crossed the strait and settled in Taiwan in 1746. His descendant, Lin Wen Cha, was the commander of Fijian Province's army during the Qing Dynasty. To commemorate Lin's bravery spirit in the war, the Tongzhi Emperor conferred him the title "Junior Guardian of the Crown Prince" and rewarded his residence the name "Gong-Bao-Di" posthumously. Gong-Bao-Di is the only remaining Qing-era first class official residence in Taiwan. And the Grand Flower Hall served as a banquet hall for receiving and entertaining guests. There is a large elaborate theatrical stage in the interior. Nowadays, Gong-Bao-Di and the Grand Flower Hall are listed as a national cultural monument.
