Jialan Tribe Introduction
Jialan Village is located on the northern bank of the lower section of the Taimali River in Jinfon Township, originally known as Buliblosan, meaning "many mists." During the Japanese colonial period, under the Japanese government's resettlement policy, this area became a cohabitation site for the Paiwan and Rukai peoples. It is renowned for the famous open-air hot spring "Jinfeng Hot Spring." The village gained attention from the media and the public due to the Morakot typhoon disaster in 2009. Overcoming the challenges brought by the disaster, residents united their efforts to rebuild their home and transformed Jialan Village into an excellent destination for deep community tourism. Visitors can book guided tours in advance, walking while listening to stories to understand the life wisdom and spirit passed down through generations. Follow village farmers as they harvest hibiscus, DIY making hibiscus preserves, and then taste the sweet and sour hibiscus flower tea. After the farming experience, visitors can enjoy the authentic indigenous flavor meals, featuring local ingredients paired with unique spices, and a special way of eating that stimulates the appetite. Under the guidance of village mothers, participants can create colorful ceramic bead bracelets, with each color holding different meanings, making it the most meaningful souvenir of this journey.
