Chief's Culture Village Introduction
Chieftain Cultural Village was formerly known as You Xian Ting Art Company, established in July 1985. After its establishment, it quickly became popular among Japanese tourists in its first year. The village offers high-quality indigenous artworks and Taiwan jade jewelry, selling well in both domestic and international markets. In 1996, Zheng Meihua, the granddaughter of Zheng Yilang from the Takasago Volunteer Army, founded the Chieftain Cultural Performing Arts Troupe, located directly in front of the Wulai Waterfall at Warrior Plaza (5 Pugu Road, Wulai District, New Taipei City). The troupe actively promotes traditional indigenous song and dance performances and has staged over 5,000 shows to date. Zheng Meihua has gained a reputation both domestically and internationally, making it a must-see program for Japanese and other international tourists visiting Taiwan. In the same year, an indigenous restaurant department was established, and the indigenous cuisine and tea dishes have won the love of many tourists. Leading a team of excellent Atayal warriors and Atayal women, Chieftain's Daughter operates the only indigenous performing arts theater in Wulai. The male performers are skilled in battle, while the female performers excel in weaving and cooking, diligently promoting the transmission of Atayal culture. They continue to persevere, expressing the love of the indigenous people through dance, warmly welcoming tourists with open hearts.
