A Dream Tribe - Unveiling the Mystery Town

【Mountains and Rivers of Kiyang】

Culture and History

Kiyang Village is located in the right bank of the Nao-ao South River. It is the farthest tribe to Suhua Road among seven tribes of Nan-ao Township, and also the last one to maintain its Arayal culture. With Kiyang Elementary School as a demarcation, the people(tribe) in the east are from Kiyang tribe of Old Kiyang, and those in the west from the Qunox.

The Qunox in the lower section of Bo-ai Road settled down after five migrations. As the result of long-term isolation in the mountains, Old Kiyang people were accustomed to the life of free hunting. After migrations in three stages, they settled down in Chongyueh led by the head of Mr. Hsin-lai You and Vuvu Jin-shan He, and then migrated to Kiyang Road at east of the Kiyang Elementary School. This village was set up formally in 1968 and had a population of about 500.
