The Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village is Taiwan's first large-scale cultural facility that takes on aboriginal tribes as its main theme. Exciting amusement facilities offer visitors an educational experience as well as entertainment. Situated nearby the famed Sun Moon Lake, the 62-hectare village is also shrouded with pink petals during the cherry blossom season that lasts until the end of March.
The land on which the Formosan Aboriginal Culture village now stands was purchased in 1982 by the village's current president Jung-i Chang. The park was opened four years later in July 1986 with only the culture village and the European garden. The amusement park section was added in 1992.
The Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village is a place where people can observe Taiwanese traditional tribal lifestyle and observe an abundance of aboriginal traditions. The China Post has indicated that the village sprawls across 62 hectares (150 acres); a trip to the village offers visitors the chance to enjoy many educational and recreational riches and it easily requires an entire day to experience all the village has to offer. The village is an aboriginal theme park that is composed of three major areas: the Aboriginal Village Park, the Amusement Isle, and the European Garden. The outdoor atmosphere gives visitors a glimpse of aboriginal heritage in an authentic setting by depicting the villages and lifestyles of Taiwan's nine main tribes.
