Cultural Tour Back through Time
Aboriginal Villages
The Formosa Aboriginal Cultural Village has the largest
outdoor museum in Taiwan dedicated to displaying the
traditional homes and architecture of Taiwan’s nine principal
aborigine tribes. The nine villages are arrayed over an
expansive section of hillside to give visitors a feel of what native
Taiwanese villages looked like so many years ago.
All buildings were reconstructed based on fieldwork research and blueprints drawn up by anthropologists in the 1930s and 40s. Trails through this area separate each tribal community so that visitors are able to observe clearly the differences and
similarities between tribal building styles. Because the
environment in which each tribe lived differed from others, you
will find associated differences in building materials (stone,
wood, bamboo) and other aspects.

Aboriginal Village Activities
The Aboriginal Village employs Taiwanese aborigines from the nine tribes to introduce visitors to their cultural heritage. Both young and old, these native Taiwanese are dedicated to putting their traditional talents on display, including sculpting, weaving, pottery making, cooking, knitting, exercising, handicrafts making, playing, and dancing. Shows are ongoing and a full list of each day’s events are prominently displayed throughout the park.
