Lan An Cultural Centre

Eastern Taiwan & Taroko National Park


This cultural foundation has a museum-like section with costumed mannequins and, in the yard, an example of a Tao underground house. You can generally catch a glimpse without joining a full tour.

Guides don't speak English. It's near the southern end of the airport runway, west of Yuren (Iratay) village.
