Bailan Indigenous Community, Hsichu Experimental Youth Travel Spot
Bailan Tribe, known as R’uyan in the indigenous language, means "a place where deer gather." Nestled in Wufeng Township of Hsinchu County at an altitude of around 1,500 meters, it is a perfect summer retreat where you can escape the heat and enjoy the cool mountain breeze. Rich in natural resources and surrounded by pristine forests, this area offers an ideal environment for both camping and backcountry adventures. Whether you're new to the outdoors or a seasoned explorer, you'll find your own rhythm here. Beginners can ease into nature through sensory-based activities that invite you to slow down, connect with the forest, rediscover yourself, and simply enjoy the fun and freedom of the wild. For more experienced adventurers, R’uyan is a great base for outdoor education and training—from pitching tents, building fires, and cooking in the wild to learning mountaineering techniques and physical conditioning. Our professional mountain team is here to guide you, whether you're looking for a gentle sensory exploration or rigorous wilderness training. And don’t worry about bringing all the gear—we provide tents and outdoor cooking equipment, so you can fully immerse yourself in the experience without the burden of logistics.

Community Experience,Tainan Youth Travel Spot
As a new year begins, do you still remember the stories from your past—those moments that make you proud and nostalgic? Are you ready to add another remarkable chapter to your youth this year? Don’t let your youth slip away—enrich it by exploring the beautiful land of Taiwan in person! Our association’s activities will be launched one by one, offering tailor-made tours filled with cultural and tribal experiences, ecological education, and fun DIY workshops. If this sounds like your kind of adventure, don’t wait up—sign up and join us today! 1. Explore Pingpu Culture Beyond what you’ve learned from history textbooks—how much do you really know about the Pingpu people? Have you ever heard the legends that tell how to recognize the Pingpu heritage? Join us on a journey through Tainan’s community exploration sites—not just for photo stops, but to trace the living footprints of the Pingpu people and gain a deeper understanding of the fascinating Siraya culture. During this activity, participants will be guided into Beitouyang Village in Jiali, where the cultural journey of the Pingpu begins. 2. Sugar Industry Cultural Experience Taiwan’s sugar industry began during the Dutch East India Company’s rule and later became the backbone of Taiwan’s economy under the Qing Dynasty. During the Japanese colonial period, the industrialization of sugar production marked a turning point in Taiwan’s path toward modernization. As a result, the sugar industry became a powerful symbol of colonial modernization and capitalist development, leaving a lasting impact on communities across the island. In Tainan, sugar production dates back to the Dutch era and flourished during the Qing period, shaping both the economy and cultural landscape of Taiwan. Today, the Soulang Cultural Park (formerly the Jiali Sugar Factory) and the Tsung-Yeh Arts and Cultural Center are key landmarks representing this heritage. Visitors can still see the original narrow-gauge railway tracks once used by the sugar trains and even experience the fun of traditional sugar-making in a peaceful, nostalgic setting. The Yanping Community also has a long-standing sugar-making history dating back over 200 years. The community once produced sugar in traditional “sugar huts,” a nearly lost craft that has now been revived and shared with the public to preserve this cultural legacy. During this activity, participants will: *Learn about the cultural and historical significance of Taiwan’s sugar industry. *Enjoy fun, game-based learning activities that bring history to life. *Visit Yanping Community to experience handmade brown sugar production and discover the deep connection between the local community and the sugar industry. 3. Dive into the Culture of the Salt Industry This itinerary centers around the theme of salt, taking you along Taiwan’s coastal salt-making heritage. Along the way, you’ll visit the oldest surviving tile-paved salt field ruins and explore the former Qigu Salt Fields, once the largest in Taiwan. Through these sites, you’ll uncover the rise and fall of the salt industry, its transformation over time, and how the government has worked to revive this once-thriving tradition by turning former salt fields into vibrant eco-tourism destinations. These restored areas now showcase a unique blend of offshore sandbars, lagoons, and coastal wetlands, offering both cultural insight and natural beauty. Among the highlights: Jingzijiao Salt Fields, the first salt fields established in Beimen and the oldest existing tile-paved salt field ruins in Taiwan. Qigu Salt Mountain, a famous landmark of Tainan’s Qigu District, originally used to store salt from the Qigu Salt Fields. Over time, the piled salt hardened naturally into solid blocks, creating the iconic “salt mountain” seen today. During the activity, participants will: *Learn about the history and transformation of Taiwan’s salt industry. *Explore the Jingzijiao Salt Field ruins and Qigu Salt Fields. *Experience firsthand the traditional salt-making process under the sun.
