Qingye Tribe Introduction
Qingye Village is located on County Road 185 in Pingtung County. At the entrance of the village, you can see an image of stream rocks accompanied by a group of butterflies. Following this image, you enter the village area, which is a beautiful Rukai tribal village. According to legend, the village migrated several times over 400 years before finally settling in its current location in the 29th year of the Republic of China. The youth association actively transformed the village, drawing strength from ancestral stories and displaying their family tales on the walls of their homes, resulting in a vibrant array of colors throughout the village. There is a female artist in the village who has created a striking butterfly window and a butterfly wall in her home. Inside Qingye Elementary School, a special butterfly staircase has been made to connect with the village. A tour of Qingye Village is like walking through an outdoor art museum, where every family’s fence tells the story of their ancestors. It is recommended to stay for about 2-3 hours, and you can make an appointment with the Community Development Association for a guided tour to learn more about the beauty of Qingye Village.
