Indigenous Peoples Cultural Park Introduction
The park near the National Palace Museum in Shuangxi, Taipei, is uniquely planned to present themes of indigenous culture, creating a culturally rich indigenous-themed park. The park features sculptures representing various indigenous tribes, including stone figures of people, a boy with a dog, rice pounders, handprints, human figures, and sculptures of giant pandas and Formosan sika deer, as well as mother and child figures. This allows citizens to connect with indigenous life within Taipei City. The entrance plaza is spacious and imposing, leading inward along a path adorned with totemic tiles, arriving at the lakeside boardwalk area, where cypress trees and various aquatic plants like ginger flowers and water lilies are planted. Along the route, stone benches and walls, made of flagstones, are complemented by lush native plants, creating a rich ecological environment that showcases indigenous life. The indigenous cultural theme park not only displays indigenous artwork but also introduces the cultures and origins of Taiwan's Plains Indigenous peoples, including the Papora, Yami, Kavalan, Seediq, Bunun, Puyuma, Paiwan, Rukai, Amis, Tsou, Shao, Saisiyat, and Atayal. Through the indigenous peoples' harmonious relationship with nature, it provides deeper insight into their artistic world. The Indigenous Cultural Theme Park welcomes your visit.
