Chieftain Cultural Village Introduction
Chieftain Cultural Village was originally established as Yousianting Arts Co., Ltd. in July 1985 and quickly became popular among Japanese tourists in its first year. It offers high-quality indigenous art and Taiwan jade jewelry, successfully selling to both domestic and international markets. In 1996, Zheng Meihua, the granddaughter of Zheng Yilang from the Takasago Volunteer Army, founded the Chieftain Cultural Dance Troupe, located directly in front of the brave warrior plaza at the Wulai Waterfall (5 Pubut Road, Wulai District, New Taipei City). The troupe actively promotes traditional indigenous song and dance performances, having performed over 5,000 shows to date. Zheng Meihua, also known as "Chieftain's Daughter," has gained a reputation both domestically and internationally, making it a must-see program for Japanese tourists and other visitors to Taiwan. In the same year, an indigenous restaurant division was established, with indigenous cuisine and tea dishes being particularly favored by tourists. "Chieftain's Daughter" leads a talented group of Atayal warriors and maidens in managing the only indigenous performing arts theater in Wulai. The male performers are brave warriors, while the female performers are skilled in weaving and cooking, demonstrating their dedication to promoting Atayal cultural heritage. They continue to strive to express indigenous emotions and love through their performances, warmly welcoming tourists with enthusiasm.
