Sanhe Village Introduction
Sanhe Village is located on County Road 37 in Ma-jia Township, Pingtung. In 1943, an American pastor named Joe Ai-kuang assisted in relocating indigenous people from the nearby villages of Wutai, Sandimen, and Ma-jia to develop land in Ai-Liao using resources from the Taiwan Christian Welfare Association (TCWS). In 1967, the villagers voted to rename the area "Sanhe Village." Sanhe Village actually comprises three communities: the Northern Community, Yuquan (Paiwan), the Central Community, Sanhe (Paiwan), and the Southern Community, Meiyuan (Paiwan and Rukai). Numerous excellent indigenous craft studios are located here, where you can experience the vibrant indigenous culture. From April to June each year, the area produces a large quantity of local mangoes, making a mango smoothie an excellent treat. A suggested visit time is about one hour, during which you can explore various unique workshops or purchase special souvenirs.
