Nanzhuang Visitor Center Introduction
The Nanzhuang Visitor Center was established on April 20, 2003, and is the first green building certified visitor center under the jurisdiction of the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications. The building meets four major criteria: greening area, site water retention, daily energy saving, and water resource management. It is located next to Nanzhuang Old Street and was inaugurated on January 17, 2009. Nanzhuang was once prosperous in forestry and mining, but has since transitioned to a tourism and leisure industry. It is a town that blends multiple cultures, and the interior design of the visitor center incorporates Hakka and Indigenous elements. It provides visitors with travel information, consultation services, attraction introductions, multimedia video guides, and free experiences with Indigenous and Hakka clothing. Additionally, it offers convenient services such as free Wi-Fi (iTaiwan), car charging, luggage storage, wheelchair rental, umbrella rental, and reading glasses rental. The activity square next to the visitor center hosts street performances and seasonal festivals on weekends. To promote handicrafts, the visitor center holds free "Handicraft DIY" sessions every month, inviting local Hakka and Indigenous teachers to provide direct instruction, allowing visitors to experience the beauty of different cultures.
