Jialan Tribe Introduction
Jialan Village is located on the northern bank of the lower Tamali River in Jinfon Township, originally named Buliblosan, meaning "misty." During the Japanese colonial period, under the government's resettlement policy, it became a cohabitation area for the Paiwan and Rukai tribes. The area is famous for the well-known open-air hot spring "Jinfeng Hot Spring," and it gained media and public attention due to the devastating Morakot Typhoon in 2009. Overcoming the challenges brought by the disaster, residents united their efforts to rebuild their homes, transforming Jialan Village into an excellent destination for deep tribal tourism. Visitors to Jialan can book guided tours in advance to walk around and listen to stories, learning about the life wisdom and spirit passed down through generations. Follow the village farmers to harvest hibiscus, DIY and make hibiscus snacks, and then taste the sweet and sour hibiscus flower tea. After the farming experience, guests can enjoy the most authentic indigenous-style meals, where local ingredients are combined with unique spices, featuring special cooking methods that will tantalize the taste buds. Under the guidance of village mothers, participants can make colorful ceramic bead bracelets, where each color has a different meaning, serving as the most meaningful souvenir of the journey.
