After bamboo craftsmen such as Chen Ching-fu of Zhushan Township, Nantou County jointly established the Qing Chu Bamboo Production Cooperative in 1997, they established the Qing Chu Bamboo Culture Park. Covering an area of about 1.2 chia, the park combines the collaborative efforts of many workers such as bamboo farmers, bamboo craftsmen, and professionals in the bamboo industry. It has cultivated more than 120 species of bamboo, making it an important bamboo cultivation site in Taiwan.

When the Aozhu Production Cooperative was established in 1997, Taiwan's bamboo industry was in a state of decline. Seeing Taiwan's bamboo forests gradually being converted to cash crops such as tea trees and betel palms, Chen Jing-fu worried that the bamboo industry would wither and decline starting from the raw material end. Consequently, he gathered bamboo farmers, bamboo artisans, and people from the bamboo industry to start planting various types of bamboo and running workshops.

Ching Chu Bamboo Craft Cultural Park was rebuilt after sustaining heavy damage from the September 21 earthquake in 1999. Out of approximately 1,400 bamboo species worldwide, the park has cultivated over 120 species of bamboo—including more than 80 endemic species native to Taiwan—making it one of Taiwan's most important bamboo cultivation sites today.

The park also features a planned Bamboo Culture Museum, which houses bamboo handicrafts made using various techniques such as bamboo weaving, bamboo carving, and bamboo tubing, including bamboo baskets, bamboo hampers, bamboo suitcases, bamboo-tube chairs, and bamboo screens. The collected bamboo handicraft creations span a period of 50 years, offering a glimpse into the living memories of early days when bamboo was used for farming and to support labor.
