What to see
Yanban Lane (岩板巷) climbs the hillside on a pavement of flat stone slabs. Its railings carry pottery vessels decorated with snake motifs and other patterns: triangles represent mountains and rivers, horizontal lines rivers, and circles unity. The lanes also contain stone sculptures, smithies and bronze workshops. Houses are assembled from local stone cut and shaped by hand.
Culture and collections
Wutai Rukai Museum (霧臺魯凱族文物館) combines modern construction with stone slabs. Local artist Du Zaifu (杜再福) designed its exterior and completed the decoration with his father, Du Banan (杜巴男). Traditional dance provides the theme for the enclosing wall, while displays inside include clothing, everyday utensils and objects from Rukai settlements.
