Head to the Wulai Fushan hidden gem – Delan, and enjoy a wonderful moment of happiness. Organized by the New Taipei City Government, the “Happy Delan” themed tour takes you upstream along the Nanshi River, the upper reaches of the Xindian River, to visit the Atayal tribe, reaching the northernmost Duluo settlement of the Delan people. Your one-day mini adventure begins with a welcome blessing from the tribal elders.

Two major themed routes – “Atayal Stream Forest Life Fun” and “Atayal Farming & Hunting Forest Life Fun” – take you deep into the four major Delan settlements (Duluo, Kalamogui, Limu’an, and Daluolan), allowing you to get close to the forests and streams, breathe the purest phytoncides, release urban stress, gaze upon the Delan tribe, and experience the lifestyle and culture of the Atayal hunters.

Travelers can also listen to humorous and engaging stories shared by tribal guides, taste local specialty meals, and leisurely stroll through the area, feeling relaxed and at ease while experiencing the happy moments of the Wulai Fushan hidden gem – Delan.

The second phase of the “Happy Delan” themed tour activities will open registration for one-day trips in September and October. For just NT$999 per person, you’ll enjoy a guided tour, hands-on experiences of Atayal cultural activities, and a tribal specialty lunch. Local indigenous guides will personally share local stories, leading travelers to experience the uniquely vivid and fascinating Atayal culture.
