Success Story Museum Introduction
The first-floor exhibition area is divided into a permanent exhibition section, showcasing local marine culture with audiovisual presentations on set net fishing operations, introductions to different types of marlin, legendary stories of fishermen, and displays of old photographs. The other exhibition hall is a special display area that will periodically exhibit local cultural arts, economic industries, artifact loans, and achievements from various activities, among others. Chenggong Township is long and narrow, with settlements developed by various ethnic groups arranged along the coastal plain from north to south, with the Amis being the main ethnic group. There are a total of eight administrative villages in the area, with the majority of the population engaged in agriculture, followed by fishing. The Amis are a matrilineal society characterized by an optimistic and straightforward nature, with their unembellished singing and primitive dance steps blending with the sounds of the wind and waves, creating a lifestyle and rituals that have long merged with nature. The Harvest Festival is the essence of the Amis' traditional culture and is the event that most reflects the Amis' characteristics, playing a significant role in the continuity of the ethnic group and the preservation of their culture. The coastal villages of Chenggong Township include a total of 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. From July to early August each year, the various villages select a time to commence the annual Harvest Festival, where the lively dancing and joyful singing allow travelers to immerse themselves in the rich culture of the Amis. You are welcome to come and share the joy of the annual Harvest Festival, receive a primitive baptism, and experience the philosophy of coexistence between the Amis and nature.
