Description of Our Community: The tribe of Sinvi (Niahosa) lies in the south of Alishan National Park, Chiayi County. It is about 500m above the sea level and is also the water resource protection region of Zeng Wen Reservoir upstream. The tribe amidst the valleys has picturesque scenery and honest people. Sinmei is one of Tsou’s last tribes. The people there are all Tsou’s aboriginals. Sin Mei Elementary School is a typical school for the aboriginals. Walk along Alishan Road (Route 18) from Chiayi City, turn right at 36.5km mark (Longmei), pass through an avenue of 20 km, and you will find Sinmei. The statue of our warriors will welcome you at the crossroads.

Project Description: Sinmei is one of Tsou’s tribes with very simple aboriginals. It is still unknown to people though located in the famous Alishan. So under the Cyberfair Project we expect to introduce to the world Sinvi’s beauty and characteristics from the three aspects of historical remains, scenic spots and industrial cultures. We can also lead the students to take an investigation and make them value even more the precious resources.
