Dulan Site Introduction
Dulan, derived from the local Amis language A'tolan (transliterated as Dulan), means a place with many stones and frequent earthquakes. Dulan Village in Donghe Township, Taitung County, is a typical Amis tribe settlement, nestled against Dulan Mountain and overlooking the vast Pacific Ocean, offering picturesque scenery. Due to years of tectonic activity, the Coastal Mountain Range of Taitung features more than 100 kilometers of rolling hills, with a spectacular marine terrace extending over 4 kilometers. The topography here is very similar to the gentle slopes of the marine terrace in Changbin Township. Perhaps due to the gifts of ancient landforms, the geological changes over millennia have created a precious archaeological site—Dulan Archaeological Site.
