FAQ
The main residents of Lushan Village belong to the Bunun people, a unique community that preserves its traditional culture, ecological wisdom, and way of life. Visitors here can gain in-depth understanding of the Bunun's historical origins, ceremonial rituals, linguistic arts, and mountain philosophy, experiencing their wisdom of harmonious coexistence with nature and their lifestyle of living in symbiosis with the environment.
A day trip to Lushan Village primarily includes visits to the village cultural park and the 'Walking Tree' Forest Museum. You'll also have the opportunity to participate in traditional mochi pounding and savor indigenous-style meals. The itinerary also takes you to tea plantations and shops in the homeland of Luye Hongyu Long tea, allowing you to experience the local tea-drinking culture and deeply appreciate the natural and cultural charm of Taitung.
Lushan Village is situated at an altitude of approximately 500 to 1000 meters, making it a low to mid-altitude mountainous area. Due to the variable mountain weather, it's recommended to wear comfortable clothing, non-slip shoes suitable for walking, and bring sun protection, a hat, and rain gear. Some paths may be slippery, so please pay close attention to your footing and your personal condition.
The 'Walking Trees' in Lushan Village refer to the local endemic clusters of Banyan trees. The aerial roots of these banyans extend downwards into the soil, forming new trunks, allowing the entire tree structure to continuously expand outwards, making them appear to be moving, hence they are called the 'Walking Tree Forest Museum.' This showcases the wonders of nature and a unique ecological landscape.
Visiting the 'Walking Trees' typically requires following a local guide, as the area is private land and holds profound ecological education and cultural significance. Tourists can arrange transportation to the village by booking services that include a Lushan Village itinerary. Local guides will then lead you for an in-depth explanation, ensuring you can safely experience and respect the local culture.
When participating in the Bunun cultural experiences in Lushan Village, you can look forward to learning traditional Bunun songs and dances, personally enjoying the fun of pounding mochi by hand, tasting unique tribal cuisine, and listening to tribal elders share Bunun history, legends, and mountain living wisdom. This offers a profound and diverse indigenous cultural journey.
During the tea-tasting experience in the Luye Hongyu Long tea region, you will learn about the unique processing methods and flavors of Hongyu Long tea, including its characteristics of heavy fermentation and heavy roasting. Tea shops will guide you through tasting Hongyu Long teas of different vintages and flavor profiles, teaching you how to appreciate its mellow taste and unique ripe fruit aroma, providing a deep immersion into Taitung's tea culture.
It is recommended to bring lightweight and comfortable clothing, mosquito repellent, a personal water bottle, and common medications. As tribal activities may involve forest trails, wearing non-slip athletic shoes or hiking boots is very important. Additionally, maintaining an open mind, respecting tribal culture and customs, and fully cooperating with the guide's instructions will make your experience more enriching and smooth.
