I never realise that there are so many ancient tribes in Taiwan. My Chinese teacher told us, the students, that there are twelve aboriginal tribes in Taiwan. The Amis, Atayal, Bunun, Kavalan, Paiwan, Puyuma, Rukai, Saisiyat, Thao, Truku, Tsou and Yami. If I am not wrong, the tribe domiciles at Wulai is the Atayal tribe because they are the famous mountain tribe. If you visit Wulai, you can try dressing up as the Atayal tribe and they will help you to take picture. You will notice that the Atayal tribe has facial tattoo on their face. Those with facial tattoo means they have gone through the coming-of-age rituals. However, you cannot watch the tribal dance performance in Wulai because the area is not big enough to stage a dance performance.

If you would like to watch the Formosan dance performance, you can watch it at Formosa Aboriginal Culture Village in Nantou. There is a daily dance performance held at Naruwan theatre.  Thank goodness we managed to make it on time for the performance.
