Chishang Bison Story Museum Introduction
The Chishang Fault is a well-known seismic fault in eastern Taiwan, extending from the southeast of Ruishui in Hualien to the southeast of Chishang, particularly around the Jinyuan Village area. It experiences continuous tectonic movement, rising slowly at a rate of nearly three centimeters per year. This region is currently one of the most active and visibly striking fault zones in the world, making it a key focus for earthquake research both domestically and internationally. The Hakka Industry Exchange Center (Diniuwu Hall) was formerly the Chishang Visitor Center managed by the construction and planning agency, operating with a combination of academic and tourism-guided approaches. The second floor of Diniuwu Hall is aligned with the five crustal deformation measuring instruments set up by the Academia Sinica in the area, providing environmental education information to the public as well as serving international academic purposes. The first floor features a permanent exhibition and occasionally hosts various Hakka cultural activities, promoting Hakka culture while integrating local geological features, thus forming a unique and locally characteristic tourism highlight!
