In 1708, Kuo Yuan-yi's ancestors crossed the sea from Zhangzhou, Fujian, and started a new chapter in Taiwan's traditional pastry history at the Shilin Bridge with just a shoulder pole. After four generations of legendary management, the century-old shop has continuously innovated, earning the reputation of a "pastry family." After a century of refinement, Mr. Kuo Yuan-yi established Taiwan's first pastry museum to preserve Taiwan's precious historical heritage of traditional pastries. The museum showcases the history of the "pastry family" over the past century and introduces the evolution of Taiwan's traditional pastry industry and the customs of traditional Taiwanese weddings and funerals, thereby allowing people to gain a deeper understanding and knowledge of traditional Taiwanese pastries. The Shilin branch of the Kuo Yuan-yi Bakery Museum, established in 2002, is the second branch after the Yangmei branch in 2001. It is located on the fourth and fifth floors of the Kuo Yuan-yi corporate headquarters, at the original site of the century-old Kuo Yuan-yi shop. In addition to the museum exhibition area, which introduces the historical evolution of Taiwanese pastries over the past century and traditional customs for weddings and funerals, there is a "Happy Baking House" inviting visitors to make pastries themselves and experience the fun world of pastries. Furthermore, there are "Parent-Child Activity Areas" and "Outdoor Parent-Child Play Areas" allowing both adults and children to gain more knowledge about Taiwanese pastries through various activities and facilities.
