Taiwan Indigenous Cultural Park Introduction
The Taiwan Indigenous Peoples Cultural Park is located in Beiye Village, Majia Township, Pingtung County. Initially, it was the Majia Mountain Cultural Village, surrounded by settlements of the Paiwan and Rukai tribes. Established in 1985, it covers an area of approximately 82 hectares and focuses primarily on showcasing and preserving Taiwanese indigenous culture. It is the largest and most research-worthy outdoor museum in the country. The park is divided into four main visiting areas: the Welcome Area, Tamalu Bay Area, Nalu Area, and Fuguwan Area, with elevations ranging from 145 to 220 meters. The terrain is quite rugged, featuring stunning and varied natural landscapes. Both Tamalu Bay and Fuguwan Areas display traditional indigenous architecture, presenting the complete appearance of the settlements. The Nalu Area focuses on dynamic performances, featuring a stage for songs and dances, a 360-degree circular theater, and a museum showcasing the lifestyles of the ten tribes, along with a classroom offering handicraft teaching. Additionally, the park has hiking trails, allowing visitors to overlook the entire area, where slate houses, bamboo houses, and wooden houses are nestled among the greenery, interspersed with mountain carvings that reveal the traditional tracks of the indigenous peoples. It is recommended to spend about 3 hours here, and visitors can take the park's shuttle to explore the different areas and pay attention to the performance schedule at the stage to enjoy exciting indigenous shows.
