Introduction

Enjoy the seasonal Black Diamond Wax Apples and Golden Mangoes, taste the sweet and sour taste of jelly fig, or savor the unique plum dishes of the area. Countless specialty dishes here ensure that everyone will go home happy and full.
Duona Village's Stone Slab Houses
The Douna Slate Stone House Hub can be found in the Douna Village in Maolin District. It is a specialty of the Paiwan tribe, whose people built slate stone houses together using slate stones collected directly from the Wenquan River nearby. While the body of the house is usually built with slates of lighter shades, which are susceptible to corrosion by wind and rain, the floor and roof are usually made from heavier slates of darker shades, which are more resilient than light-colored slates. In addition, some slate stone houses feature Deinagkistrodon totems on the top or sides of the door, which signifies the owner’s social status, which is either a tribal chief or a highborn.
Tasting Traditional Duona Cuisine
When you come to the Duona Tribe, don't miss out on strolling through the Duona shopping street. You can taste all kinds of aboriginal food in the restaurants and snack stalls in the shop street, such as tribal sausage, cinabu (traditional Rukai delicacy), hunter rice dumplings, slate barbecue, etc.
Liugui Mountain Tea Story House
Liugui is abundant in locally grown high mountain tea. At the Liugui Mountain Tea Story House, you can learn about the native mountain tea and its fragrance and book meals in advance. Or make an appointment to experience the tea ceremony, tour guides, tea rolling DIY, and other activities. Suggest buying some souvenirs to take home and share with family and friends!
