Location: No. 20, Lafulan Road, Lafulan Village, Taoyuan District, Kaohsiung City.
(It is located at Zhangshan Village in Taoyuan District, near Meishankou at the 107km marker of Taiwan Provincial Highway No. 20.)

Lafulan Village is filled with arts from aboriginal tribes. The houses on both sides along the Southern Cross-Island Highway are decorated with totems of the Bunun tribe. Walking inside the village, visitors can appreciate traditional wood and stone carvings and meet friendly villagers. Several years ago, the Lafulan community started to promote Bunun arts and traditional handicraft skills by popularizing traditional weaving, wood and stone carving, pottery creation, and other arts. After years of preserving this culture, the village now hosts cultural festivities, such as the manah tainga (Hunting Festival) of the Bunun Tribe.
