Laiji (Pnguu) Tsou Village
來吉 Pnguu
A Tsou village at the foot of Mount Ta, the Sacred Mountain in Alishan. Painted stone and wood carvings of wild boar fill the village, earning it the nickname “Wild Boar Village.”
Laiji is located in the northern part of Alishan Township, at the foot of Mount Ta, the Sacred Mountain. In the Tsou language it is called Pnguu. Painted stones and wood carvings in the shape of wild boars are everywhere in the village, which is why it is known as the “Wild Boar Village.” The village also has craft workshops and Tsou-style restaurants, and it offers views of the steep rock peaks of Mount Ta. From Shizhuo or the Fenqihu direction, take county roads for about 30 minutes. It can be combined with Fenqihu and Shizhuo Tea Gardens in one day. Some sections are narrow and winding, so watch for falling rocks in the rainy season.
