Wulu Tribal Village Introduction
Bul bul Village is located at the 187-kilometer mark of the Southern Cross-Island Highway, surrounded by mountains and sitting at an elevation of over 700 meters, with a comfortable and pleasant climate. "Bul bul" comes from the Bunun language, meaning the sound of water bubbling up from the ground, indicating the strong connection this place has with water. Before entering the village, visitors can see a statue of a hunter carrying a wild boar, which serves as the entrance symbol of the village, showcasing the brave and warrior spirit of the Bunun people, an indigenous mountain tribe. In the pavilion behind Wulu Elementary School, two ancient cannons are displayed, serving as a testament to the courageous resistance of the Bunun people against the Japanese army here. Inside the village, one can feel that this is a very peaceful and quiet place, filled with the sounds of insects, birds, and frogs, where any human-made noise seems to disrupt the harmonious rhythm. The village is not large, and the small houses painted in blue, white, and orange seem to be a characteristic feature of the area. The terraced land of the village is planted with corn, plums, and plums, which bloom in late winter to early spring, making it the best time for flower viewing with the cherry and plum blossoms in full bloom.
