Wu Sha Historical Residence Introduction
Wu Sha was an important figure in the development of Yilan. At that time, Yilan was a wild and undeveloped area. Wu Sha led Han people from Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, and Guangdong to cultivate the land here. Initially, there were frequent conflicts with the Kavalan people, but later, when smallpox broke out, Wu Sha helped them with medicine. The Kavalan people, feeling grateful, eventually lived in peace with him, laying the foundation for the settlement of Yilan. Therefore, Wu Sha is revered as the first person to establish Yilan. During his life, he found the terrain in Jiaoxi to be suitable and settled there. His former residence is a century-old Sanhe courtyard, with a couplet outside reading, "A true pioneer with no equal, he is indeed the first person of Yilan." It is currently planned to be the "Wu Sha Memorial Hall." The mottled red brick exterior has a strong historical flavor. Although Wu Sha's former residence has been renovated, traces of the century-old house can still be felt.
