Dubanan Memorial Hall

The Dubanan Memorial Hall is located on Slate Stone Alley in Wutai Township. It is dedicated to Dubanan, a revered sculptor known for his wooden sculptures. He also created many totems for the Lukai Tribe.


The Memorial Hall houses Dubanan's artworks and is currently run by his son. It is also home to a special installation, the Bench of the Ancient, where the indigenous hang weapons for hunting. Only men can seat themselves on the bench. If a woman sits on the bench, she will violate the taboo and curse the weapons on it, so whoever uses them cannot hunt successfully.


The Memorial Hall is only open to tourists who have booked accommodation at the Dubanan B&B, and visitors should book a place before visiting the hall. Be mindful that a permit is required to enter Wutai Township. Larger vehicles such as trucks and tour buses are prohibited from entering the region.

Visitors are recommended to spend half an hour at the Memorial Hall. Make sure you call the hall to book a place in advance.
