Travel in Taiwan May/June, 2016:
Xiaoyeliu was our first stop inside the East Coast National Scenic Area (eastcoast-nsa.gov.tw), which stretches from just north of Taitung City to just south of Hualien City. Beyond its sheer beauty, this natural stone-sculpture scenic area is highly info-taining for those types – like your writer – thrilled with matters geology-related. Along the shore you’ll find large rock formations – honeycomb rock, mushroom rock, tofu rock, cuestas – and in the visitor center well-crafted models and rock samples introducing the geological features of Xiaoyeliu and the coastal mountains.
A short distance north is Jialulan. This is a seaside art park – and an eco-engineering showcase, on a transformed waste-soil site created during construction of the adjoining air-force base – with works spread out over an expansive grassland. Most are of wood, and most of the wood is of coastline-gathered driftwood, a popular Taitung-artist medium. My favorite installation features a wood-weave shell stuffed full with the human-created detritus that washes ashore in monster storms – things you’d expect, like fishing gear, but also much that’s bizarre. A stethoscope? A calculator?
Another short drive north brings you to small Jiamuzi Bay, at the foot of Mt. Dulan. This is a place of stunning archetypal tropical scenery – the mountain sloping right down to the coast, coconut trees along the shore, attractive coral reefs just offshore, disappearing under frothy waves and then popping up again. This is a popular spot for surfing, snorkeling, and other watersports.
The Water Running Upward attraction, a must-visit spot for the tour-bus crowd, is just south of Dulan village. And just what is it? A long, narrow, shallow irrigation channel comes down from the hills, running through a small sculpted park. And for all the world, it looks as though the gurgling waters defy gravity along this 100m stretch. Real or illusion? We inspected the waterworks from every angle; the stream, counter-intuitively, seems not to slow down or pool up at all. Take the riddle on for yourself with a first-hand gander. (Nevertheless, I give you the answer at article’s end.)
The sprawling, big-shouldered old Dulan Sugar Factory, in Dulan village, one of the coast’s largest Amis-tribe settlements, makes sugar no more. The heritage complex, now protected, is today a place for local and expat artists and craftsmen. There are artist workshops, a cultural-creative boutique, a café, a craft brewery, Taiwanese and Japanese restaurants, a quick-food kiosk, a driftwood stage, and other attractions. The big action is on Saturday nights, when there is free live music, with both local and expatriate talent performing.
On the slopes of Mt. Dulan just to Dulan’s northwest, on a road that leads to the popular Moonlight Inn café (see Stay/Eat/Buy article), is the Dulan Site. The short paths to the spread-out finds on view, which include a sarcophagus and large stones from a long wall used in worship rites, start at roadside and have clear signage. They are from what is called the Qilin culture, and date to about 3,000 years ago. It is believed that the local tribal inhabitants likely moved up here after the coast was hit by a tsunami. Mt. Dulan is revered as a divine presence by the area’s Amis and Bunun tribal groups.
源自部落的生命藝術：優席夫 (Yosifu) at TEDxTaipei 2012
優席夫，阿美族血統，出生於花蓮玉里的原住民部落﹣馬泰林村。目前定居於英國藝術之都﹣愛丁堡。已有多年在當地知名國際藝術節參展的資歷，是目前少數在歐洲以原住民為主題推動台灣文化，並成功發展的原住民藝術家。優席夫的創作非常多元，從音樂、攝影一直延伸到繪畫。
優席夫的創作於2010年開始大幅度的在英國與台灣受到矚目，作品除了持續的在愛丁堡展出外，其作品以用色大膽、主題活潑鮮明為特色。他專注在用色強烈且具戲劇張力的效果上創作，通常在簡單的視覺上，往往還透露了對人性與社會議題的見解，尤其巧妙的運用了東 西方元素的特質，作品深受歐亞人士的喜愛。曾與古又文等15位各類新銳藝術家，入選英國倫敦藝術大學台灣會Formosa策展團隊之Ban-Doh聯展的徵選，並在倫敦Candid Art Gallery展出，是三位入選的畫家之ㄧ，而且也是唯ㄧ的原住民藝術家。
Yosifu was born in the village of matailing, Taiwan and belongs to the Ami tribe of aboriginal people found in the east of the island. He now lives and works mainly in edinburgh, and has exhibited successfully in both Europe and Asia. He is one of very few artists promoting Taiwanese aboriginal culture in Europe. Yosifu's varied creative talents encompass music, photography and painting.
His bright vibrant style has its roots in aboriginal and naive forms of artwork and is a fusion of western and asian styles and techniques. He focuses on the strong use of colours to dramatic effect, with a simple facade often hiding more serious observations or social commentary. His work has become popular in both europe and asia.
Yosifu's profile has increased significantly in the UK and Taiwan in 2010. His work continues to be displayed in Edinburgh. He was chosen by the Formosa Team to exhibit in London as part of their Ban-Doh @ Formosa exhibition, a major showcase of 15 cutting edge Taiwan contemporary artists and designers, as one of only three painters selected, and the only aboriginal artist represented.

Heels 2 Wheels: Taiwan - 4-Wheel ATV Fun at Gangzai (Jiupeng) Desert in Pingtung (Episode 19)
We head off to the Gangzai (also known as Jiupeng) Desert for some 4-wheeling ATV fun with 行情大腳車隊. If you are unfamiliar with handling heavy machinery, you can also choose to ride pillion with one of the guides. However, it's a lot more fun if you take to the wheel yourself.
Not many know that there actually is a desert in Taiwan, and we figure, the novelty of the place is visiting a desert without having to travel too far. Although you won't see cactuses and wild desert animals, the dunes in Hengchun Peninsula rank as the largest in Taiwan. They are well kept, and are formed by the sturdy blowing of the northeast trades. The sands at the Jiupeng Desert are finely proportioned and the curves are beautifully formed.
Although the desert may be small, racing down the sand dunes is nothing short of fun. Riding up may be a bit of a challenge, but once you get used to it, you won't ever want to stop!

President Tsai apologizes to indigenous peoples, announces new transitional justice commission
Taiwan president gives first apology to indigenous groups
Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen has officially apologised to the island's indigenous population for centuries of mistreatment, the first time a leader has done so.
Speaking to representatives from 16 recognised native tribes, she said Taiwan had to face the truth to move forward as a country of one people.
Ms Tsai said a historical justice commission would be established.
Immigrants from mainland China arrived in Taiwan about 400 years ago.
Shy but steely: Who is Tsai Ing-wen?
Indigenous people lost ancestral land rights and had their traditional lifestyles, languages and cultures restricted under harsh policies of assimilation.
They remain disadvantaged compared to other Taiwanese, with higher levels of unemployment and lower average wages.
They now make up about two percent of Taiwan's more than 23 million people.
For the past 400 years, each regime that came to Taiwan has brutally violated indigenous people's existing rights through military might and land looting, Ms Tsai said, adding that a simple verbal apology was not enough.
She promised the government would give indigenous communities greater autonomy, improve their land rights and work to preserve native languages, AFP news agency reported.
Capen Nganaen, an 80-year-old leader from the Yami tribe, attended the ceremony
Capen Nganen, an 80-year-old representative of the Yami people, said he hoped the government will truly deliver on the promises made in this apology.
Other indigenous activists said they had expected more in terms of policy.
Protests outside Ms Tsai's office over the weekend called for indigenous hunting rights to be protected.
The establishment of national parks on their land has led to anger over the need to obtain permits for hunting, fishing and foraging.
Ms Tsai, whose Democratic Progressive Party came to power in January, is the first Taiwanese leader with aboriginal heritage.
Her paternal grandmother was from the Paiwan indigenous tribe and she had promised an apology during the election campaign.

SUMMARY
=======
Taiwan ( ( listen), UK also ), officially the Republic of China (ROC), is a state in East Asia. Its neighbors include the People's Republic of China (PRC) to the west, Japan to the northeast, and the Philippines to the south. It is the most populous state and largest economy that is not a member of the United Nations.
The island of Taiwan, formerly known as Formosa, was inhabited by aborigines before the 17th century, when Dutch and Spanish colonies opened the island to mass Han immigration. After a brief rule by the Kingdom of Tungning, the island was annexed in 1683 by the Qing dynasty, the last dynasty of China. The Qing ceded Taiwan to Japan in 1895 after the Sino-Japanese War. While Taiwan was under Japanese rule, the Republic of China (ROC) was established on the mainland in 1912 after the fall of the Qing dynasty. Following the Japanese surrender to the Allies in 1945, the ROC took control of Taiwan. However, the resumption of the Chinese Civil War led to the ROC's loss of the mainland to the Communists, and the flight of the ROC government to Taiwan in 1949. Although the ROC continued to claim to be the legitimate government of China, its effective jurisdiction had, since the loss of Hainan in 1950, been limited to Taiwan and its several outlying islands, namely Quemoy and Matsu, with the main island making up 99% of its de facto territory. As a founding member of the United Nations, the ROC represented China at the UN until 1971, when it lost its seat to the PRC.
In the early 1960s, Taiwan entered a period of rapid economic growth and industrialization, creating a stable industrial economy. In the 1980s and early 1990s, it changed from a one-party military dictatorship dominated by the Kuomintang to a multi-party democracy with a semi-presidential system. Taiwan is the 22nd-largest economy in the world, and its high-tech industry plays a key role in the global economy. It is ranked highly in terms of freedom of the press, healthcare, public education, economic freedom, and human development. The country benefits from a highly skilled workforce and is among the most highly educated countries in the world with one of the highest percentages of its citizens holding a tertiary education degree.The PRC has consistently claimed sovereignty over Taiwan and asserted the ROC is no longer in legitimate existence. Under its One-China policy the PRC refuses diplomatic relations with any country that recognizes the ROC. Today, 17 countries maintain official ties with the ROC but many other states maintain unofficial ties through representative offices and institutions that function as de facto embassies and consulates. Although Taiwan is fully self-governing, most international organizations in which the PRC participates either refuse to grant membership to Taiwan or allow it to participate only as a non-state actor. Internally, the major division in politics is between the aspirations of eventual Chinese unification or Taiwanese independence, though both sides have moderated their positions to broaden their appeal. The PRC has threatened the use of military force in response to any formal declaration of independence by Taiwan or if PRC leaders decide that peaceful unification is no longer possible. The PRC and ROC standoff dates from the Chinese Civil War and has extended through the first, second and third Taiwan Strait crises to the present day.

SUMMARY
=======
Green Island, also known by other names, is a small volcanic island in the Pacific Ocean about 33 km (21 mi) off the eastern coast of Taiwan. It is 15.092 km2 (5.83 sq mi) at high tide and 17.329 km2 (6.69 sq mi) at low tide, making it the Republic of China's seventh-largest island. The island is administered as Lyudao Township, a rural township of Taitung County and one of the county's two offshore areas (the other being Orchid Island).

Following the Japanese surrender to the Allies in 1945, the ROC took control of Taiwan. However, the resumption of the Chinese Civil War led to the ROC's loss of the mainland to the Communists, and the flight of the ROC government to Taiwan in 1949. Although the ROC continued to claim to be the legitimate government of China, its effective jurisdiction had, since the loss of Hainan in 1950, been limited to Taiwan and several small islands, with the main island making up 99% of its de facto territory. As a founding member of the United Nations, the ROC represented China at the UN until 1971, when it lost its seat to the PRC.
In the early 1960s, Taiwan entered a period of rapid economic growth and industrialization, creating a stable industrial economy. In the 1980s and early 1990s, it changed from a one-party military dictatorship dominated by the Kuomintang to a multi-party democracy with a semi-presidential system. Taiwan is the 22nd-largest economy in the world, and its high-tech industry plays a key role in the global economy. It is ranked highly in terms of freedom of the press, healthcare, public education, economic freedom, and human development. The country benefits from a highly skilled workforce and is among the most highly educated countries in the world with one of the highest percentages of its citizens holding a tertiary education degree.The PRC has consistently claimed sovereignty over Taiwan and asserted the ROC is no longer in legitimate existence. Under its One-China policy the PRC refuses diplomatic relations with any country that recognizes the ROC. Today, 17 countries maintain official ties with the ROC but many other states maintain unofficial ties through representative offices and institutions that function as de facto embassies and consulates. Although Taiwan is fully self-governing, most international organizations in which the PRC participates either refuse to grant membership to Taiwan or allow it to participate only as a non-state actor. Internally, the major division in politics is between the aspirations of eventual Chinese unification or Taiwanese independence, though both sides have moderated their positions to broaden their appeal. The PRC has threatened the use of military force in response to any formal declaration of independence by Taiwan or if PRC leaders decide that peaceful unification is no longer possible. The PRC and ROC standoff dates from the Chinese Civil War and has extended through the first, second and third Taiwan Strait crises to the present day.
