Chief's Cultural Village Introduction
The Chief's Cultural Village was originally established as You Xian Ting Arts Ltd. in July 1985, and quickly gained popularity among Japanese tourists in its first year. It offers high-quality indigenous artworks and Taiwan jade jewelry, which are well-received in both domestic and international markets. In 1996, Zheng Meihua, the granddaughter of Zhang Yiliang, a descendant of the Takasago Volunteers, established the Chief's Cultural Dance Troupe, located in front of the Warriors Plaza directly across from the Wulai Waterfall (No. 5 Waterfall Road, Wulai District, New Taipei City). The troupe actively promotes traditional indigenous song and dance performances in Taiwan, having staged over 5,000 performances to date. The reputation of Chief's Daughter (Zheng Meihua) has spread both domestically and internationally, attracting both Japanese tourists and visitors from around the world to witness this must-see program in Taiwan. In the same year, an indigenous restaurant section was established, and the indigenous dishes and tea food offerings have become very popular among tourists. The Chief's Daughter leads a team of exceptional Atayal warriors and maidens in managing the only indigenous theater in Wulai. The male performers are skilled in battle, while the female performers are talented in weaving and cooking, striving to promote the inheritance of Atayal culture. They continue to work hard, expressing indigenous love through their dances and warmly welcoming tourists with enthusiasm.
