Success Stories Museum Introduction
The first floor exhibition area is divided into a permanent exhibition zone showcasing local marine culture, featuring audiovisual presentations of fixed net fishing operations, introductions to various species of marlin, legendary stories of spear fishermen, and exhibitions of old photographs, among others. The other exhibition hall is a special display area that will periodically exhibit local cultural arts, economic industries, relics on loan, and outcomes of activities, etc. Success Town is long and narrow from north to south, with settlements developed by various ethnic groups lined up along the coastal plain. The Amis people are the primary ethnic group. The area contains eight administrative villages, with the majority of the population employed in agriculture, followed by fishing. The Amis people live in a matriarchal society marked by an optimistic and simple nature, and their unadulterated singing and primitive dance steps blend with the sounds of the wind and waves, integrating their lives and ceremonies with nature. The Harvest Festival is the essence of Amis traditional culture and is the most distinctive activity that highlights Amis characteristics, holding immense importance for the continuity of the ethnic group and the preservation of their culture. The coastal villages of Success Town include fourteen villages from south to north: Xiao Ma Village, Du Li Village, Feng Tian Village, He Ping Village, Qi Lin Village, Min Feng Village, San Min Village, Zhi Tian Village, San Xian Village, Mei Shan Village, Xiao Gang Village, Yu Shui Qiao Village, Chong An Village, and Yi Wan Village. Every year from July to early August, each village selects a time to begin the annual Harvest Festival, where the vibrant dancing and joyful singing will allow travelers to immerse themselves in the rich Amis culture. You are welcome to come here to share the joy of the annual Harvest Festival, experience the primitive baptism, and engage in the Amis philosophy of coexistence with nature.
