Indigenous Peoples Cultural Park Introduction
The park near the National Palace Museum in Wenshan, Taipei City, is specially designed to showcase themes reflecting indigenous culture. It creates a culturally enriched indigenous-themed park featuring various sculptures such as stone markers with representations of different tribes, figures of youths and dogs, rice pounding figures, handprints, human figures, giant bears, Formosan sika deer, and mother-child sculptures, allowing citizens to get closer to the indigenous way of life within Taipei City. The park entrance boasts a spacious and grand plaza, leading visitors along a pathway decorated with totem-patterned tiles into the lakeside wooden corridor area. At the water's edge, there are clusters of bald cypress and various aquatic plants like ginger lilies and water lilies. The pathway includes stone benches, walls, and various totem-patterned tiles, harmoniously integrated with the abundance of native plants, creating an environment rich in ecology and showcasing indigenous life. The indigenous cultural theme park not only displays indigenous artworks but also introduces the culture and origins of Taiwan's Plains Indigenous Peoples, including the Puyuma, Yami, Kavalan, Seediq, Bunun, Paiwan, Rukai, Amis, Tsou, Shao, Saisiyat, and Atayal tribes. Through the indigenous people's attitude and spirit of harmony with nature, we can gain a deeper understanding of their artistic and lifestyle world. The indigenous-themed cultural park welcomes your visit. Source: Park Walkthrough, Taipei New Blossoms website.
