Description of Our Community: Fushan has inseparable relationship with Wulai. Wulai, a very well known place, is also a famous culture resort in the north of Taiwan. Its fame has widely spread in the world. Wulai is located on the upstream of Nanshih River, which flows endlessly and provides food and water to great Taipei district. Having a glance over the river basin, the scenery is fascinating, layers of mountain ridges, flourish forests and great variety of wildlife along the sides of the river, magnificent ancient forest and grand gorge. It is given the title by the ecology traveler as the Amazon ecological resort in Taiwan; the name does match the reality. Before long, “Wulai” didn’t appear in the official history book of Atayal great migration. Fushan was the original name of the tribe. Today, the tribe still exists; and Wulai has obtained its name and fame. The transition can be followed easily by visiting Fushan tribe. Let’s go into the time tunnel and begin our exploration.

Project Description: Fushan tribe lies in one of the mountains around Taipei. It is granted “the garden of Taipei” for its beautiful scenery and environmental diversity. Besides, it is important for being in the upriver area of urban water. Most of the children in Fushan tribe are aborigines (Atayal). These aboriginal children are eager to dedicate themselves to passing down their culture because it is fading away. By choosing different research topics and carrying out field surveys, they want to present their rich and deep culture to people outside Fushan through this Cyberfair.
