Wusha Former Residence Introduction
The Wu Sha Residence, located in the Siheng area of Jiaoxi Township, Yilan County, is not only a century-old historic house with deep cultural significance but also one of the most important historical landmarks in the development history of Yilan. This quaint traditional Sanheyuan (三合院) structure is situated on Beimen Alley, surrounded by many descendants of the Wu Sha family, preserving the complete appearance of the settlement. The existing residence was built around 1921 (the 10th year of the Taisho era) and features a traditional layout of five main rooms in the center and three wing rooms on each side. The building's structure is a mix of earth, stone walls, and red bricks, and the weathered red brick facade appears particularly elegant under the dappled shadows of the trees, as if it encapsulates the rural life of a century ago, allowing visitors to closely experience the spatial essence of past living.
