Jiaran Village is located on the northern bank of the downstream Taipower Creek in Jinping Township. Its original name was Buliblosan, which conveys the meaning of "foggy." During the Japanese colonial period, under the relocation policies of the Japanese government, this area became a shared settlement for the Paiwan and Rukai indigenous peoples. This location is renowned for its famous hot spring, "Jinfeng Hot Springs," and further attracted public attention due to its severe damage caused by the 2009 Morakot typhoon. Overcoming the challenges brought by the typhoon, residents united to rebuild their homes, transforming Jiaran Village into an ideal destination for in-depth tribal tourism.
Visitors to Jiaran Village can schedule a guided tour in advance, walking while listening to stories and learning generations of tribal life insights and wisdom. Accompany local farmers in picking hibiscus flowers, participate in DIY hibiscus jam-making, and then taste the tart-sweet hibiscus flower tea. After the agricultural experience, savor the most authentic indigenous cuisine, where local ingredients paired with unique spices create distinctive tribal flavors that are truly captivating. Under the guidance of tribal mothers, craft colorful ceramic bead bracelets, where each hue carries specific meaning. These creations will become the most meaningful souvenirs from your journey.
