The Bul bul tribe of Wulu village is nestled at the Nan Heng Highway's 187 km mark, surrounded by mountains at an elevation of more than 700 meters, where the climate is comfortable and pleasant. The name "Bul bul" originates from the Bunun language, referring to the sound of water rising from the earth. This highlights the strong connection between Wulu and water. Before entering the village, visitors can see a statue of a hunter carrying a mountain boar, which serves as the symbolic gate image of the village, vividly representing the Bunun people's courageous and fierce nature as a highland ethnic group. In the pavilion behind the Wulu Elementary School, two old cannons displayed there further attest to the Bunun people's brave resistance against the Japanese army. Upon stepping into the village, one feels a sense of harmony and tranquility, with insects chirping, birds singing, and frogs croaking—any additional human-generated sound would disrupt this natural rhythm. The village is small, characterized by small, single-story houses with blue, white, and orange exteriors. The hillside of the village is planted with corn, plums, and apricots; hence, during the late winter to early spring season, the area is awash with blooming plum and apricot flowers, making this the ideal time for flower viewing. 【Source: Tribe Backpacker - Feng Taitung Tribal Travel Guidebook】
