The Wufeng Lin Family Yipu Garden was first built in 1906 and completed in 1914. It is a hybrid Chinese-Western-Japanese style building constructed during the Japanese colonial period, and it is the last piece of the Lin Family's ancient architectural complex, now over a century old. Initially, it served as a pleasure ground for Mr. Lin Ji-tang (1874-1922), with a granary and accounting office in the front yard; the backyard had a zoo, housing exotic animals purchased from Tokyo, making it a must-visit attraction for Japanese tourists coming to Taichung at the time. Yipu was also a Western-style garden where Mr. Lin Hsien-tang held Yixin Society meetings and tea parties.

In 1951, Mr. Lin He-nian (1914-1994), the first democratically elected Taichung County Magistrate and the fourth son of Mr. Lin Ji-tang, converted this place into a county government consultation reception center, becoming the origin of the Red Faction in Taichung's political arena.

The current owner of Yipu, Lin Zhen-ting (1953~), is a descendant of Mr. Lin Lie-tang (1876~1947). He is passionate about art and humanities and is dedicated to promoting them. In addition to collecting and exhibiting works by renowned artists, he also frequently collaborates with emerging artists for exhibitions. Yipu Garden and Yipu Museum are among the excellent venues for such exhibitions. While preserving historical relics, they also possess a richer artistic atmosphere, injecting new vitality into this ancient settlement in the new era.
