Tai'an Tribe / Daba Liujiao Tribe Introduction
Tai'an Village is the Tamalakaw community of the original Puyuma tribe's eight tribes, located at the foothills of Mount Dabaliu. This place is the hometown of the renowned figure A-Mei, known as the Queen of Chinese Pop. Despite being A-Mei's birthplace, there are no signs or information related to her in the village, as the community prefers to maintain its simplicity and tranquility without capitalizing on A-Mei's fame. This approach is increasingly rare in the colorful modern society. When visiting Tai'an Village, you can first explore the traditional cultural sacrificial square, which features the Puyuma tribe's traditional Barawan, ancestral spirit house, and observation tower. The architecture here is more rustic and natural compared to other Puyuma villages, exuding a strong sense of nostalgia. The cultural square is the venue for the annual Harvest Festival held in July and the Grand Hunting Festival at the end of the year. During these times, many tourists flock to the area, and interested friends can stay updated for information to experience the two major rituals of the Puyuma tribe firsthand.
