GREAT LOVE PARK Introduction
After the Morakot disaster in 2009, Shanlin became an important base for home reconstruction. The DAAI Park features facilities such as a church, workshops, Hope Square, an Indigenous Culture Park, and DAAI Elementary School. However, the most precious aspect is that residents have created a unique "house vocabulary" in DAAI Park based on their respective ethnic legends, totems, and preferences for colors and shapes. The houses of the Bunun people display brightly colored diamonds and totems of the sun and moon, while the houses of the Rukai and Paiwan peoples are adorned with motifs of the hundred pace snake and lily flowers, representing the legends and memories of their entire tribes. If you see couplets, that indicates a Han Chinese household. The "Xiaolin Park" from Xiaolin Village is connected by the Lion Bridge donated by the Lions Club, and several bamboo groves have become important memories of the Indigenous Xiaolin.
