Dwemen Village Introduction
In the village of Dewen, Sandimen Township, Pingtung County, the Dewen Scenic Area offers stunning mountain and countryside views. Located at an elevation of 800 meters, Dewen Village features the Guanzhishan Ancient Trail, the Dewen Hunter School, and Delai Park, showcasing the distinctive culture of the Rukai tribe. The entire village covers an area of 1,560 hectares. The winding road to Dewen Village allows visitors to admire the natural landscapes, including rugged peaks and deep valleys. As winter approaches, the mountainous area becomes vibrant with blooming cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, and other seasonal flowers, creating a picturesque scene. A century-old Ficus tree in the village unfortunately collapsed due to disease, but efforts are being made to help restore its former glory through pruning and grafting. Dewen Village is primarily inhabited by the Paiwan people, and visitors can spot indigenous artifacts such as stone walls, tables, chairs, and totems. However, this area is designated as a mountain control zone, so an entry permit is required for access. Notably, Dewen Village features numerous indigenous totems and installation art pieces that blend the natural beauty with the local cultural characteristics, allowing visitors to appreciate both the stunning landscapes and the essence of indigenous culture.
