To complement the exhibition, four cultural lectures are scheduled. These sessions will feature local historians and cultural experts discussing Qionglin's significant landmarks and heritage. Furthermore, a stamp-collecting event encourages visitors to explore designated spots in the 12 villages. Upon collecting five stamps, participants can redeem an exclusive Qionglin souvenir stand at the exhibition venue after August 20.

The "Qionglin Limited" exhibition runs until August 30, with the venue closed on Mondays. More details are available on the Qionglin Township Office or Township Mayor Huang Cheng-piao's Facebook page.
