Iraraley Tribe
朗島部落
The largest village on Lanyu's north coast, preserving traditional work houses and plank-boat boathouses, with the strongest festival atmosphere during flying fish season.
Iraraley village lies on Lanyu's north coast. It has a relatively large population and well-preserved traditions. Elevated platforms, work houses and boathouses for storing plank boats are visible, and painted plank boats often line up on the harbor beach. The flying fish ritual held at the start of the flying fish season is often staged in Iraraley, where men wear loincloths and silver helmets to pray by the sea. The ritual is usually closed to outside filming, so please follow the rules. Nearby are the Iraraley cold spring and beaches, which are good for snorkeling. Drive slowly through the village and respect residents.
