Xiplan Visitor Center (New Pacific No. 1 Store) Introduction
The limestone blocks in the riverbed of the Xiuguluan River have been eroded by the stream for years, taking on various shapes and appearing as white as jade, earning the beautiful name "Xiugu Shuyu." The exterior of the Xiuguluan Visitor Center, designed with the concept of Xiugu Shuyu, is covered with pure white imitation stone material, and features aluminum grills that create sunshade panels resembling Xiugu Shuyu, moving away from traditional sloped roof designs. This striking appearance attracts the attention of travelers. After renovations, the revamped Xiuguluan Visitor Center celebrated the grand opening of "New Pacific No. 1," managed by the Abyss team, who have deep ties to the East Coast. They invited outstanding young Paiwan designer Xie Shenghua to draw inspiration from tribal elements and design with warm wood, not only providing the original functions of the visitor center but also incorporating a bookstore and café to showcase exquisite tribal crafts, allowing visitors to enjoy a coffee, browse books, or purchase tribal handcrafts. The Xiuguluan Visitor Center has also launched various activities such as markets, book readings, and pop-up dinner plans, continuing to explore local stories of the East Coast and stimulating more creativity to serve as a communication base for the East Coast towards the world, conveying a new Pacific lifestyle belonging to the East Coast tribes. This is not only a home for volunteer friends on a working holiday in the tribe but also a great resting spot for visitors. If you pass by, don't forget to come in and experience the charm of the East Coast tribes!
