The "Yongkang Tribe" in Yanping Township, Taitung County, and the "Zhiyagan Tribe" in Wanrong Township, Hualien County, will open four sessions this year, according to the East Longitudinal Valley National Scenic Area Headquarters. These sessions will offer English audio guides and English menu services.
The mountain hunting route leads to the summit hunting lodge for registered foreign visitors. They can hear tribal legends and discover the traditional hunters' techniques in the mountain forest as they travel. At the hunting lodge perched on a mountain, they may relish fire-roasted meals, take in the breathtaking scenery, and enthusiastically learn about Bunun cuisine.
The Zhiyagan tribe, which is ruled by the Taroko ethnic group, will take the foreign visitors on a tour of local gatherings, archery, and tribal game tastings to give them a taste of Taroko culture and daily life.
