    Rukai Museum

The Lukai Cultural Center is on Zhongshan Alley in Wutai Village of Wutai Township. The center is a slate stone house built with modern techniques, surrounded by a traditional Lukai dance-themed fence. The three-story center aims to preserve Lukai culture and features traditional artifacts and relics from the Lukai Tribe, reflecting the diversity of the indigenous culture. The first floor is an event hall where exhibitions are held from time to time. The second floor is where Lukai relics are on display. Besides the cultural displays, there is also a sample slate stone house outside the exhibition hall. The sample house features complete but simple furniture inside, allowing tourists to deepen their understanding of the architecture and characteristics of slate stone houses, which are cozy to live in during both summer and winter.

Visitors are recommended to spend an hour at the center. Please note that it is closed on Mondays. Make sure that you apply for permits to enter Wutai Township. Larger vehicles such as trucks and tour buses are prohibited from entering the region.

    The admission fee is 20 yuan. Aboriginal people will guide you through the exhibits in detail, learn about the origins and stories of aboriginal culture and ramie weaving, and visit ancient cultural relics and equipment. It is an educational exhibition hall.

    A small but sophisticated museum. In addition to introducing the Rukai culture of the Wutai tribe, it also shows how the local area preserves and promotes the results of traditional culture. The "Remembering the Road - Jilu Tribe Story Map Joint Exhibition" currently on display displays the ancient place names of the tribe and the world view of the living environment collected from the oral narratives of the tribe's elders, which is very interesting.

    It is worth coming here to learn about the tribe. There is a large square selling coffee and outdoor seats for chatting and resting. It is a leisure place suitable for daily visits during holidays.

    Now there is an exhibition, 20 yuan per person, and there is only an exhibition hall on the first floor. On the left, there are some images, paintings, and topographic maps. The house, remembering the past in the old tribe, life details, although it is only 20 yuan, it is still worth a walk.
