Dulan
都兰
An Amis tribal village and artsy town on the east coast, where a converted old sugar factory houses art spaces. Surfing and a slow pace of life attract many backpackers.
Dulan is located in Donghe Township and is home to an Amis community. It has the strongest artistic atmosphere on the east coast. Beside Provincial Highway 11 is the former Xindong Sugar Factory, now converted into art spaces and cafés, and Indigenous music performances are often held here on weekends. The nearby bay is a famous surfing spot, and the streets are lined with guesthouses, cafés, and handicraft shops. Nearby, 'Water Flowing Uphill' is an optical-illusion irrigation channel. Visiting the village is free. Getting there: about 30 minutes' drive from Taitung City, or take the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle East Coast Line.
