Dai Ai Park Introduction
After the Morakot disaster in 2009, Shanlin became an important base for home reconstruction. The Dayi Park features facilities such as a church, workshops, Hope Square, an Indigenous Culture Park, and Dayi Elementary School. However, the most precious aspect is that the residents, based on their respective ethnic group legends, totems, and preferences for colors and shapes, have formed a unique "house vocabulary" in Dayi Park. 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 people are adorned with decorations of the hundred-step snake and lily, which represent the legends and memories of their entire ethnic groups. If one sees couplets, it indicates a Han Chinese household. The "Xiaolin Park" from Xiaolin Village is connected by the Lion Bridge funded by the Lions Club, with several clumps of bamboo becoming important memories of the indigenous Xiaolin.
