Taiwan Aboriginal Culture Park

The Taiwan Indigenous Peoples Cultural Park can be found in Beiye Village of Majia Township in Pingtung. Formerly the Majia Cultural Village, the Cultural Park was established in 1985 and covers an area of 82 hectares, where Paiwan and Lukai communities can be found in the adjacency. The Cultural Park aims to present and preserve Taiwan's indigenous culture and is said to be the largest outdoor indigenous museum presenting the greatest research value in Taiwan.


Spanning across 145 to 220 meters above sea level, the Cultural Park features rugged terrains and diverse landscapes. It is divided into four main areas: the Greeting Area, the Tamaluwan Area, the Naluwan Area, and the Fuguwan Area. Tamaluwan and Fuguwan are two areas where traditional indigenous architecture and the full view of tribal life are on display. The Naluwan Area is where visitors can enjoy dynamic performances. The place features performance halls, an amphitheater, and a museum home to sculptures of ten indigenous tribes. There is also a place where people can participate in DIY workshops to make indigenous handicrafts.


The Cultural Park also has a hiking trail, allowing visitors to climb to a higher ground where they can look across the whole park, spotting houses made of slate stones, bamboos, and logs scattered in the lush green forest below, which is decorated with random sculptures that keep track of the development of local indigenous culture.


Visitors are recommended to spend three hours here to explore the park by taking the shuttle bus between different areas. They are also recommended to watch performances put on by indigenous people.
