Visiting Taitung allows you to not only forget your worries amidst the embrace of mountains and sea but also venture into the indigenous tribes nestled in the deep mountains, valleys, and along the coast. Here, you can appreciate the wisdom of living in harmony with nature and listen to the stories stemming from diverse cultures.

The Bunun tribe's Yongkang village is located in Taitung's Yanping Township, where the residents have beautiful surnames inspired by the flowers, plants, and trees that surround them. Their ancestors once lived in the Central Mountain Range before gradually migrating down and choosing to settle in this area.

When you are here, consider joining the local "Uninang Multi-Cultural Workshop" for a day of the "Hunter's Table" experience. Follow the footsteps of Bunun hunters and elders as you explore the village, learn about sacred trees, step onto hunting trails, and try your hand at archery and bamboo pole throwing. Then, follow the chants of the tribe members up the mountain for a barbecue feast featuring indigenous cuisine, concluding your journey with a performance of eight-part harmony.
