Wushar Residence Introduction
Wu Sha was an important contributor to the development of Yilan. At that time, Yilan was still undeveloped, and Wu Sha led Han people from Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, and Guangdong to cultivate the land. Initially, there were frequent disputes with the Kavalan people. Later, an outbreak of smallpox occurred, and Wu Sha helped them with medicine. The Kavalan people were grateful and eventually, they lived in peace together, laying the foundation for the development of the area, thus Wu Sha is respected as the first person to develop Kavalan. During his lifetime, he thought the geography of Jiaoxi was favorable, so he built a house and settled there. The former residence is a century-old Sanheyuan (a traditional three-section courtyard house), with a couplet outside that reads, "Indeed, a peerless hero in land reclamation; he is truly the first person of Kavalan." It is currently planned to be a "Wu Sha Memorial Hall." The weathered red brick exterior has a strong sense of antiquity. Although Wu Sha's former residence has been renovated, traces of the century-old house can still be felt. Inside, there are many introductions, accounts, and plaques related to Lanyang. Additionally, there are altars and portraits dedicated to Wu Sha. Those interested in the development history of the Yilan area can visit here and believe they will gain a lot!
