Dawen Village Introduction
At the Dewen Village in Sandimen Township, Pingtung County, the Dewen Scenic Area is located. You can definitely feel the beauty of the mountainous landscape. At an altitude of 800 meters, Dewen Village features the Guanshan Ancient Trail, Dewen Hunter School, and Delai Park, showcasing the unique culture of the Rukai people with a total area of 1,560 hectares. The road to Dewen Village winds through the mountains, allowing visitors to enjoy natural landscapes such as steep peaks and deep valleys. As winter approaches, various blossoms start to bloom in the mountains, including plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, and peach blossoms, embellishing the mountain tops in a picturesque manner. The village originally had a century-old banyan tree, which collapsed due to disease, but cuttings were taken to help restore its former glory. Dewen Village is primarily inhabited by the Paiwan people, and you can see indigenous artifacts everywhere, such as slate walls, tables and chairs, and totems. However, this area is a mountainous control zone, and an entry permit is required to enter. Notably, Dewen Village has many indigenous totems and installation art pieces, combining natural beauty with local cultural characteristics, allowing visitors to appreciate the scenery while experiencing the unique aspects of indigenous culture.
