Hualien County covers an area of more than 4,600 square kilometers and has a population of only 330,691 people; Hong Kong covers an area of more than 2,700 square kilometers, but has more than 7 million people. Such a life, we can only envy. Now Hong Kong Express flies directly to Hualien, it only takes 90-95 minutes to arrive, and Zhong Kuai goes to Tin Shui Wai. Hualien itself is rich in natural resources and retains the rare aboriginal culture in Hong Kong: Amis, Kavalan, Sakilaya, Bunun, Taroko, Seediq, and other six ethnic groups. Hualien is full of unique human features.

At the beginning, there were warm welcome popular database dances from the Amis and Taroko folk songs. After the performance, I chatted with the aboriginal people about their background: The Amis are the largest aborigines in Taiwan and are classified as a matrilineal society, with the eldest daughter as the priority for inheritance. The Amis have a chief leader, and they are divided into townships and cities, and then regional leaders. During the annual harvest festival (from mid-July to September), tribes from various places gather together to celebrate. The Harvest Festival is an important sacrificial ceremony. It will start with ancestor worship, report the news, then welcome the spirit, feast the spirit and send the spirit, and then it is the time of joy. The current harvest festival also welcomes people who are not tribes to participate. SIL_8742 Provided by the Government of Hualien County,
