The two-month-long Mountainous Market will kick off on September 28 at the Kubic Park in Kaohsiung. Popular indigenous music and dance troupes will be performing, and indigenous Rukai food "Chuluke" will be served. Visitors can even try to make the food on their own!
Other than enjoyable indigenous music and dance, a range of indigenous food, agricultural goods, and tribal handicrafts will be available for sale. The market will consist of 15 cultural and creative vendor stands from Duona Tribe of Kaohsiung and Shenshan Tribe of Pingtung. Visitors can expect to buy many things home!
On October 26, the market will be held again at Pingtung Train & Bus Terminal from 10am to 4pm. Many delicious indigenous food and interesting cultural and creative goods can be purchased at reasonable prices. If you live in the city, please feel free to go to the market for some countryside fun.
Starting from the Double Tenth Day vacation, every weekend, the market will take place again at Xinwei Forest Park and Duona Tribe, also from 10am to 4pm. From November 2 to December 1, it will be held at Shenshan Tribe. The Administration hopes to introduce indigenous culture to more people in this way, as well as to see more visitors interested in indigenous culture coming to mountain tribes.
