Taiwan Indigenous Peoples Culture Park Introduction
The Taiwan Indigenous Peoples Cultural Park is located in Beiye Village, Majia Township, Pingtung County. Originally known as the Majia Mountain Cultural Village, it is surrounded by settlements of the Paiwan and Rukai tribes. Established in 1985, the park covers an area of approximately 82 hectares and primarily focuses on displaying and preserving the culture of Taiwan's indigenous peoples. It is the largest and most research-worthy outdoor museum in the country. The park is divided into four main areas: the Reception Area, Tamaluwan Area, Naluwan Area, and Fuguwan Area, with an elevation ranging from 145 meters to 220 meters. The terrain is rugged, and the natural scenery is extraordinarily beautiful and varied. Both the Tamaluwan and Fuguwan areas showcase traditional indigenous architecture, fully presenting the features of the settlements. The Naluwan Area is centered around dynamic performances, featuring a music and dance venue, a 360-degree circular theater, and an exhibition hall displaying the lifestyle of the ten tribes, as well as a classroom for handicraft teaching. Additionally, the park has established hiking trails that allow visitors to overlook the entire area. Stone houses, bamboo houses, wooden houses, and indigenous sculptures are scattered throughout the lush landscape, revealing the traditional traces of indigenous peoples. It is recommended to spend about 3 hours at the park, where visitors can take the park's shuttle bus to tour the various areas and pay attention to the performance schedule at the music and dance venue to enjoy exciting indigenous cultural shows.
