Taiwan Indigenous Peoples Cultural Park Introduction
The Taiwan Indigenous People's Cultural Park is located in Beiye Village, Majia Township, Pingtung County. Originally known as the Majia Mountain Indigenous Cultural Village, it was established in 1985 and covers an area of approximately 82 hectares. The park primarily focuses on showcasing and preserving the culture of Taiwan's indigenous peoples, making it the largest and most research-valuable outdoor museum in the country. The park is divided into four main visitor areas: the Welcome Area, Tarmalu Bay Area, Nalu Area, and Fugu Bay Area, with elevations ranging from 145 meters to 220 meters. The terrain is quite rugged, offering beautiful and varied natural landscapes. Both Tarmalu Bay and Fugu Bay areas exhibit traditional indigenous architecture, fully presenting the features of the settlements. The Nalu Area features dynamic performances, including a stage for singing and dancing, a 360-degree circular theater, and a display hall showcasing the lifestyles of the ten tribes, as well as "Our Classroom," which offers craft workshops. Additionally, there are hiking trails within the park that allow visitors to view the entire area from above, with stone houses, bamboo houses, and wooden houses nestled in the greenery, along with scattered mountain carvings that reflect the traditional traces of indigenous peoples. A suggested visit duration is around 3 hours, and visitors can take the park's tram to tour the various areas while keeping an eye on performance schedules for the exciting indigenous showcase programs.
