Chief's Cultural Village Introduction
Chieftain Cultural Village originated from Youxianting Art Company, established in July 1985. In its first year, it was very popular among Japanese tourists. It offers high-quality indigenous art and Taiwanese jade jewelry, which are well received in both domestic and international markets. In 1996, the granddaughter of Zheng Yi-lang from the Takasago Volunteer Army, Zheng Mei-hua, founded the Chieftain Cultural Dance and Music Troupe, located right in front of the courageous square at Wulai Waterfall (5 Waterfall Road, Wulai District, New Taipei City). The troupe actively promotes traditional indigenous performances in Taiwan, having staged over 5000 performances to date. Zheng Mei-hua's reputation is well-known both domestically and internationally, attracting Japanese tourists and visitors worldwide to Taiwan for this must-see show. That same year, they also established an indigenous restaurant division, and the indigenous cuisine and tea dishes they offer have become very popular among tourists. The Chieftain's Daughter leads outstanding Atayal warriors and maidens in operating Wulai's only indigenous performance theater. The male performers are brave warriors, and the female performers can weave and cook, all striving to uphold the belief in the preservation of Atayal culture. They continue to put in effort, expressing indigenous emotions and love through their dances, warmly welcoming tourists.
