He Ping Tribal Leisure Agriculture Area Introduction
Wufeng Township's indigenous people still refer to the He Ping community as Mai Barai, which is one of the four originating tribes of the Wufeng Atayal. There are over 10 natural waterfalls that can serve as spas, and walking along the lush forest trails helps absorb phytoncides, making visitors feel refreshed. It is a rising tourist attraction in Wufeng, well-loved for its local stone lotus flowers, pasture delicacies, and high-altitude fruits and vegetables. The most notable feature of the agricultural leisure area in Wufeng’s He Ping community is its preservation of Atayal indigenous culture. Using local bamboo products, it has constructed unique bamboo torii gates, bamboo houses, bamboo signs, and various cultural artifacts, allowing travelers to immediately experience the vibrant indigenous spirit upon entering the He Ping community. He Ping community is home to three famous trails, with the Gu Yan Waterfall Trail being the most well-known. The Mai Barai Trail adjacent to the Gu Yan Waterfall Trail used to be an important route for local residents; although there is now a convenient outside road, it still holds value and meaning for the residents. The Gui Ze Mountain Trail, located in the center of He Ping community, is a paradise for hikers, as it leads to the highest point of He Ping community, offering a panoramic view of the beauty of the entire village. In addition to the original characteristics of He Ping community, this agricultural area is also known for its specialty fruits, peaches and plums. During peak seasons for peaches and plums, the mountain is often covered with white paper bags containing the fruits, and if not closely observed, one might mistakenly think the mountain is blanketed in snow, which is quite beautiful.
