Outside the "Datong Ecotourism 05" trail, the Songluo tribe with stories

0share

"the Songluo Trail is a famous national trail in Ilan. The shade under the forest and the mountain haze in the distance are crisscrossed with gurgling streams. It is easy to walk all the way, and it is a place that adults and children can get close to. However, what ordinary tourists may not know is that this trail used to be the life area of the Songluo tribe, where both sides of the trail were reclaimed as terraces, raised hundreds of buffaloes, and even hid the remains of slate in the memory of the people. If you want to explore more stories, you might as well follow the aborigines of the Songluo tribe and take a different Songluo Trail. "

In recent years, under the guidance of the "Aboriginal nationalities Council ── Datong Township Lanyang River Eco-tourism support Industrial settlement Plan", the Songluo tribe has gradually made a more complete journey, from the morning tribal tour and the lunch meal to the afternoon Songluo trail stroll, and finally draw the end of the day with beads, through the cultural and natural aspects, in-depth understanding of Songluo.

The small and neat Songluo tribe followed in the footsteps of the village mayor Badu, and tourists walked while listening to the tribe's story: the people of the Songluo tribe originally lived in the mountains of Nanao, but the village was moved here during the Japanese occupation period. At that time, rice was planted on both sides of what is now Songluo Lane, and the highest point at the bottom of the tribe was used by the daily police in the early years to monitor whether the people were seriously engaged in their work. Until the retrocession, in 1962, there was a serious landslide. the houses originally located at the foot of the mountain were destroyed, not only the water channel was interrupted, but also the rice fields were abandoned because of stones large and small washed away by the flood. as a result, the National Government again built bungalows on both sides of the middle alleyway, which became what the tribe looks like today.

After the tribal tour, flavor meals jointly prepared by tribal mothers have been served one after another, in addition to signature dishes such as roasted bucket chicken, wild vegetables fried with fresh Showa grass crisp, and salty salt crispy fried brook fish. after dinner, there is a bean stuffing bag made of scallions and flour as dessert, and the hearty meal adds strength to the afternoon trail.

Hidden on both sides of the trail, the old days of terraces and buffaloes in the afternoon, Paul, who is responsible for leading the trail, is also a professional coach who is good at tracing streams and rock climbing. in summer, he will take tourists deep into the stream. which big stone is the drop point of his private house? Where is the place where fish gather in streams? Paul knows everything; in autumn and winter, he takes a stroll along the road to introduce mountain and forest plants commonly used by aborigines, such as Jiuxiong, yellow vine, begonia, mountain longan, and so on. The most special thing is that before the trail was laid, Paul's parents lived on the side of the trail, a house with slate relics, where Paul's brother and sister were born and raised. Along the way, there are several open fields scattered along the trail, which used to be used by people stationed in the mountains to raise buffaloes and open up terraces for upland rice.

Originally, it was only a place full of natural greenness, and through the sharing of the local people, it was endowed with a new humanistic vision. At the end of the two-kilometer walk back and forth, back to the tribe, the eldest sister Magnolia, who once practiced in the Atayal Life Museum, was responsible for leading the bead experience. Each bead made of glass has a unique shape, and the process of making it by hand is quite effective. It is very suitable for settling the mood for a whole day's journey.
