Park guide and photos by Gavin Jones

In the heart of the Taiwanese countryside, near Sun Moon Lake, lies Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village. A strange hybrid of amusement park and outdoor museum, FACV offers guests education and entertainment in equal measure. Recreations of villages from twelve native tribes are scattered along a hillside, each village offering traditional performances, architecture and arts and crafts. At the bottom of this hill is the European Garden (pictured above) and Adventure Isle, the amusement park area of FACV.
The amusement area is relatively small, but there is plenty to do here for the whole day if guests also want to take in what all the villages have to offer.
