Swayag Tribe Introduction
The name of the Swasiq Tribe comes from the Atayal language "Swasiq," which means a place abundant in nightshades (a type of wild vegetable); since it is located at the foot of Longshan Mountain, the name "Longshan Tribe" is also widely used. The entrance to the well-known "Henglong Ancient Trail" is located just above the Swasiq Tribe, so friends visiting the Tai'an Ancient Trail or hot springs might take some time to explore this tribe. In addition to the Longshan Police Station and Swasiq Church, most of the structures in the Swasiq Tribe are residential houses. Although they are modern concrete buildings, local residents have painted traditional indigenous murals on the continuous residential walls to recreate the atmosphere of the Atayal tribe, showcasing traditional lifestyles and local agricultural products. The tribe has also built the Atayal's unique stilt houses, and traditional artifacts and craft studios are hidden within the alleys, making it suitable for casual strolling and enjoying a tranquil leisure time.
