Penan Cultural Park--Taitung






















This is an active archaeological dig of the Puyuma aboriginals who lived at site 5000 years ago. What you see in each picture is as follows: 1. snake warnings--fortunately, it is winter and we did not see any snakes, 2. models of ancient dwellings, 3. a shrine to a ground god, 4. the archaeological site with a ladder in one picture, 5. ceremonial stones raised by the tribe. The park was discoverd in 1980 when several thousand stone coffins were found in an an ancient graveyard.
