Friend and I walked around the permanent houses built for the tribes who houses were destroyed by Morakot Typhoon in 2009.
On the way back to Kaohsiung, we visited different Hakka old houses (客家古宅) and Green Tunnel (綠色隧道) .
It was a beautiful day!

Taiwan - Pin Tung 2014-10-28
We left the hot spring resort in the morning, we drove on high way 185 to a old house of a famous Hakka author, Chung-Li-Ho (鐘理和).
We also visited a elemtary school for tribe people. In this school, students will learn their own culture.
Rukai people (凱魯族) is the fifth largest indigenous group living in the mountains of southern Taiwan.
The Rukai people at Rinari were originally from Kochapongane (古茶柏安), which was destroyed by Morakot typhoon (莫拉克颱風) on August 8, 2009.
The residents of Rukai village were forced to relocate, they have developed and turn their new homes into an unprecedented tribe of host families.
Tonight, we are staying at a host family in Rukai village and enjoying the traditional Rukai dinner.
