Through television media, it reached a new peak of development, creating a cultural phenomenon where the entire nation watched dramas day and night, ushering in a new era that combined traditional Taiwanese art with modern technology. As an important exhibition space for glove puppetry culture, the Yunlin Puppet Show Museum is located within the former County Hall building from the Japanese colonial era.
