Nanzhuang Old Post Office Introduction
"Nanzhuang Old Post Office" was established on May 1, 1923. It features a simple and quaint layout and is now one of the three major cultural assets from the Japanese colonial period in the area, along with the Old Zhuang Official Residence and Naki Cape. The interior showcases many cultural characteristics and historical highlights of Nanzhuang, making it a must-visit site for tourists. The Saisiyat - Indigenous Culture Legend states that in the past, the Saisiyat and the Da'ai (Taai) lived next to each other. The Da'ai taught the Saisiyat agriculture, medicine, and ritual songs and dances, making them regarded as benefactors by the Saisiyat. During festival celebrations, the Saisiyat would invite the Da'ai to drink and enjoy together. However, the Da'ai often teased Saisiyat women. After enduring this for a long time, the Saisiyat decided to take revenge and killed many Da'ai. The surviving Da'ai cursed the Saisiyat, predicting they would face years of disasters and poor harvests, which indeed came to pass. Therefore, the Saisiyat hold an annual "Spirit Ceremony" to pray that the Da'ai no longer bring misfortunes upon them.
