Simaalicus Tribe Introduction
Sima Kusu, known as the "Tribe of God," is located in the misty zone of Taiwan's northeastern corner, with an altitude of about 1,600 meters. Although the area around the village has been developed, a two-hour walk leads to primitive forests, which is also the homeland of cypress trees. The year 1975 was a significant year for Sima Kusu as it gained electricity. In 1995, the Sima Kusu Development Association was established, creating a church, B&Bs, and community classrooms in harmony with nature and actively passing on Atayal culture, uniting efforts to nurture this paradise located on the southwestern ridge of the Xueshan Mountain Range. Here, leave behind the trivialities of everyday life, listen attentively to the heavenly sounds of waterfalls and mountain springs, and experience the majestic grandeur of ancient cypress trees that have stood for thousands of years.
