The Koo-Koo-Koo Cultural Center records the historical context of the Pingpu indigenous people, as well as contemporary indigenous art and artifacts. Besides hot springs, Beitou also has a unique indigenous charm. The place name 'Beitou' is a transliteration of the Ketagalan language, meaning 'witch.' More than 400 years ago, it was the original settlement of the Ketagalan people. To preserve and promote indigenous culture and art, the Koo-Koo-Koo Cultural Center of the Taipei City Government Indigenous Peoples Commission was newly completed in November 2002. The entire building is dedicated to exhibiting indigenous culture and art, providing urban indigenous people with a dedicated space for cultural inheritance and skills training. Before entering the cultural center, a row of wooden stakes stands by the roadside, decorated with tin sculptures of various expressions, including hand-holding gestures symbolizing ethnic integration, representing indigenous installation art creations that convey the message 'we are all one family.' The interior floors are organized by theme, showcasing the historical and cultural context of indigenous peoples with a lively and engaging guided tour route, making it a recreational spot to get up close with indigenous culture. The ten-story main building features a distinct stone slab exterior, resembling a breathing house, with a strong and minimalist design that complements the surrounding hot spring hotels and Beitou Hot Spring Park. The bright and spacious first-floor lobby features a dazzling ethnic tapestry.
