The "Nanzhuang Old Post Office" was established on May 1, 1923, featuring a rustic layout.

The Saisiyat - Indigenous Culture: "You’re Really Good" According to legend, the Saisiyat people lived adjacent to the Atayal tribe, who taught them agriculture, medicine, and ceremonial songs and dances. The Saisiyat regarded the Atayal as benefactors and would invite them to drink and celebrate during their festival rituals. However, the Atayal often teased Saisiyat women, and after enduring this for a long time, the Saisiyat decided to take revenge and killed many Atayal. The surviving Atayal cursed the Saisiyat, predicting that they would face years of disasters and poor harvests, which indeed came true. Consequently, the Saisiyat hold an annual "Spirit Festival" to pray that the Atayal will no longer bring misfortune upon them.
