In 2018, Yilan City Hall asked photographer Juan I-jong to exhibit his work, resulting in the establishment of the Juan I-jong’s Gallery of Taiwan Story in Juan’s hometown of Yilan City. This marked the beginning of Juan returning home to accumulate cultural assets. Juan spent in excess of 40 years travelling around Taiwan and the rest of the world taking photographs. He believes that photography is not merely the capturing of images; rather, it is the participation in a rational and emotional exchange. The Gallery of Taiwan Story has become a window through which the world can witness the most beautiful and traditional values of Taiwan frozen in time.
