Dai Ai Garden Introduction
After the Typhoon Morakot disaster in 2009, Shanlin became an important base for home reconstruction. The Great Love Village features facilities such as a church, workshops, Hope Square, an Indigenous Culture Park, and the Great Love Elementary School. However, what is most valuable is that residents have created a unique "house vocabulary" in the Great Love Village based on their ethnic legends, totems, and preferences for colors and shapes. The houses of the Bunun people display vibrant diamond patterns, as well as totems of the sun and moon, while the homes of the Rukai and Paiwan people feature decorations of the hundred-step snake and lily flowers, representing the legends and memories of the entire ethnic group. If one sees spring couplets, it indicates a Han family. The "Xiaolin Park" from Xiaolin Village is connected by the Lion Bridge, donated by the Lions Club, and several clusters of bamboo have become an important memory of the indigenous Xiaolin.
