Tavern Village Introduction
In the Dewen tribe of Sandimen Township, Pingtung County, the Dewen Scenic Area is situated in Dewen Village at an altitude of 800 meters. Here, visitors can experience breathtaking mountain scenery. The Dewen tribe features the Wangshan Ancient Trail, the Dewen Hunter School, and the Dela Park, all of which showcase the unique aspects of the Liuqiu indigenous culture, occupying an area of 1,560 hectares. The road to Dewen Village winds through the mountains, offering views of steep ridges and deep valleys. As winter approaches, the mountainous area begins to witness a succession of splendid flower seasons, with plum, cherry, and pear blossoms blooming in order, adorning the mountaintops in a picturesque scene that captivates visitors. Within the tribe, a centennial Ficus tree had collapsed due to disease, but efforts to propagate and prune branches are being made to restore its former glory. The Dewen tribe is primarily inhabited by the Paiwan people, where various indigenous artifacts can be seen, such as slate walls, tables, chairs, and totems. However, this area is classified as a mountainous control zone, and an entry permit is required to enter. Notably, the Dewen tribe has installed numerous indigenous totems and installation art pieces that harmoniously blend natural beauty with local cultural features, allowing visitors to appreciate not only the scenery but also the essence of indigenous culture.
