Wah! Jisan Zhudong

The name "Wah! Jisan Zhudong" originates from the Atayal language phrase "let's chat," hoping people can easily experience the charm of indigenous culture here. The space is divided into 6 distinct areas, including the incubation space "Papake Base." On the 1st floor, various indigenous brands have set up shop, such as the Atayal youth entrepreneurial brand "You Dian Zhi Shi," which sells Atayal cultural and creative products. Great souvenirs include "Atayal River Basin Attire Towels" printed with portraits of Atayal tribal figures, or postcards incorporating weaving materials from Atayal shoulder straps (Wakil). The shop also occasionally displays traditional Atayal ground looms and bundles of ramie fiber used by ancient Atayal women for weaving. "You Dian Zhi Shi" also offers workshops such as bow weaving and ox bone accessory making, allowing visitors to experience the process of creating traditional indigenous products. If you wish to purchase indigenous agricultural products or food-related souvenirs, you can visit the "853 Atayal Agricultural Market" store next door. The store sells agricultural specialty souvenirs like banana rice and Magao-flavored salted pork gift boxes. Venturing outdoors, the "Jisan Market" stalls on the plaza attract visitors' attention. Independent artists set up stalls to display and sell hand-woven crafts and accessories featuring tribal totems. Local specialty restaurants also serve various delicacies here in pop-up food truck form, such as "Hunter's Burger" (featuring salted pork, lettuce, and a unique sauce) and roasted Magao pork belly. On the stage in the center of the plaza, there are live performances by resident singers on holidays, and visitors also have the chance to watch the "Jisan Music and Dance Troupe," formed by shops within the park, perform traditional songs and dances "orally passed down" by indigenous elders. This ensures that your first stop on your Zhudong trip will leave you with wonderful memories of indigenous culture.
