Liuqiu Village Introduction
When it comes to Lijia, the most famous feature is the Lijia Badlands. The Lijia Badlands originated from sedimentary layers on the ocean floor that were pushed to the surface due to tectonic movements. This rock formation is a rare sight in Taiwan. The rock layers are soft and easily weathered, resulting in nearly 90-degree vertical faces after being eroded by rainwater, making it difficult for plants to grow, hence the name "badlands." In addition to geological exploration tours, the Lijia Community Development Association also plans various activities for visitors to participate in, including Ami weaving, singing and dancing performances, and nighttime observations of the ecological environment of the Peinan River. The Lijia community, which depends on the Peinan River for livelihood, is different from coastal communities that rely on the Pacific Ocean for fishing, so the river festival held here is not seen in coastal communities. The river festival typically takes place around August and is prohibited for women, primarily serving to honor ancestors and worship the river gods. 【Source: Tribal Backpackers, Feng Taitung, Tribal Travel Guide】
