Huanshan Tribal Village is also known as “Sqoyaw” in the Atayal language; it was called “Xinshe” during the Japanese colonial period. Situated at the upstream of Lishan Dajia Rive. It is surrounded by mountains, such as Nanhu Mountain and Xue Mountain, hence the name (Huanshan is literally “surrounded by mountains). Each season has its own characteristics: there are peaches and plums in spring and honey pears in summer, leaves change color in autumn, and sweet persimmons ripen in winter. The tribe consists mainly of Atayal people, and visitors can feel the rich Atayal atmosphere upon entering the village. The residents of Huanshan Tribal Village strive to preserve the traditional culture, which can be seen from the various types of stone carvings on the guardrails at the road entrance, each of them depicting different customs and stories. Atayal Heritage Museum, set up by Atayal princess, Madam Zhan Xiu-Mei, houses Madam Zhan’s personal collections, including sambar deer head specimen, bow and arrow, loom, pictures of facial tattoos from the old times, etc., in the hope of preserving and showcasing the history of Atayal. As its climate is suitable for wisteria growth, the government assists Huanshan Tribal Village in becoming a “Wisteria Mountainous Town.” Though the wisteria tunnel has yet to be completed, the wisterias planted earlier by the tribal people bloom with the sun and rain, decorating Huanshan Tribal Village, whether shrouded in mist or basking in the sun. Fish Protection Trail is an ecologically-rich creek near Huanshan Tribal Village. The trail travels along Dajia River, and passes by three suspension bridges. The trail will lead visitors to a wide variety of plants and insects as well as alpine fish species such as Taiwan ku fish and Taiwan shovel-jaw fish swimming in the creek. The construction of Fish Protection Trail is an ongoing project, and we hope that the national treasure, Formosan landlocked salmon, will appear on the trail one day.
