II. Fairyland on Earth [Explore the Hidden Charms of Qubing & Wujie Tribes & BBQ Fun]
○ Event Dates: 2014/09/06 – 2014/09/07
Nature experts will take you to unveil the mysterious veil of the forgotten tribe [Qubing & Wujie], an unfamiliar yet somehow familiar name. The Wujie Tribe, hidden in Ren’ai Township, Nantou, lies downstream from the famous maple-viewing area of Aowanda. It's one of the few northern Bunun tribes, sitting at an altitude of about 750 meters, surrounded by high mountains and clear waters, nestled in a serene valley landscape that resembles a fairyland or a paradise on earth — the "Cloud Homeland." Untouched by crowds, it preserves its pristine beauty and the most genuine era of the Bunun people, like a hidden utopia. Explore the tranquil and pure Wujie Tribe, where natural wonders and God-given features abound, unlike anywhere else, making it a must-visit for travelers.

Watching the Clouds Rise — gaze upon the sea of clouds and cloud waterfalls. Located at an altitude of 1400-1600 meters, the tea fields sit at the boundary of high-altitude climate systems, the perfect height to look down upon low-altitude cloud layers, offering sweeping views of the majestic sea of clouds. If you're lucky, you might even witness cloud waterfalls unique to high-altitude areas — watch as white clouds cascade down the mountainside like a silken waterfall, leaving you awestruck. On clear days, the panoramic view of overlapping mountains resembles an ink painting, creating a living piece of art.
