Taiwan Indigenous Peoples Culture Park:

The first show today featured members representing the Amis tribe. The Amis is the largest aboriginal tribe in Taiwan and they live primarily in eastern Taiwan. The second show was in the round-shaped Naluwan Theater. It showcased various dances and songs including a dance from the Yami which showed the importance of the boats to the Yami tribe. It was followed by a dance by the women in which they fling their long hair back and forth.

While we were inside watching the show it began to rain. It was pouring when we left and I was amazed at how quickly the ravine below began to fill with water.
