Customer Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Today I participated in a tour of a large wooden house, and I gained a lot. Master Yang and his son-in-law guided us through the house, explaining the care and stories behind every corner. It turns out that traditional architecture hides so much wisdom and traces of life; I truly gained insight and felt very moved.

Having dreams is beautiful, and being able to realize one’s dreams is the greatest achievement one can give to oneself. Since 2004, I have been refining the details; the two-and-a-half-story wooden Japanese-style building was all designed and constructed by Mr. Yang himself. The time, patience, and costs involved require the support and consensus of family members, resulting in a warm home filled with harmony. If you visit Pingtung, you must come to explore this large wooden house, which is worth savoring.

“Family Outing” The first appointment to visit a wooden structure house. The owner’s explanation was very warm, and we also visited the living space completed by Master Yang. I admire his persistence, determination to overcome obstacles, and the mutual support of his family. I can truly understand the “values” they are protecting and their way of life. Thank you for promoting wooden structure houses without reservation!
