Sandimen Township→Indigenous Sausage-Cinava→Zhongshan Park

Indigenous Sausage-Bulugu
"Bulugu" is also called "Indigenous Sausage", as the meaning of the Rukai word is to 'fill something in'. The food is similar to Chinese sausage, but the Bulugu ingredients and method of preparation are quite different. The meat stuffing is made of pig's blood cake and ground meat, mixed with taro powder and then stuffed into cleaned small intestines. Finally, it is twisted to seal the ends and put into a cauldron of boiling water or oil. Whether the "Bulugu" is eaten boiled or deep fried, the taste and smell of the taro powder will make this dish distinctive. Source: Kaohsiung City government


Cinavu-traditional Rukai delicacy
Various indigenous tribes will treat Cinavu to guests during important celebrations and events, which means sending blessings to each other and is rich in cultural significance. It is made of golden millet wrapped in shell ginger and Trichoderma callosum leaves, served with pork filling. It is a rare delicacy.

Zhongshan Park
Zhongshan Park is located across the Sandimen Township Office, right at where a martyrs’ shrine used to be in the Japanese colonial era. The shrine complex was transformed into a park after Taiwan’s retrocession and is now a must-see for those visiting Sandimen for the first time.
