Many people enjoy visiting Alishan on their time off. Located in southern Alishan, the indigenous Saviki Village offers a one-day tour where visitors can make millet wine and bamboo cups, and enjoy traditional music and dance performances. They can also savor local cuisine at a restaurant that uses only ingredients from its farm. With such fresh ingredients, only a little seasoning is needed to bring out their natural flavors.
A farmer harvests fresh okra and sponge gourd out in the fields before returning to the farmhouse where pigs, fish, and chickens are raised. This farm is part of an indigenous restaurant in Alishan’s Saviki Village. They specialize in Tsou-style barbeque, and all the ingredients come directly from their farm.
The restaurant prepares traditional indigenous dishes, including celery omelets and black fungus salad, which can be savored while enjoying a view of the Fumei Suspension Bridge.

Restaurant owner
We don’t add any special seasonings or anything. The ingredients grow from mountain soil and clean water, and are presented in the freshest way possible, leaving a lasting impression on everyone.
Once visitors have eaten their fill, they can experience local Tsou culture.
Using a giant pestle, a visitor pounds millet in a mortar. This is part of the process to make millet wine, which takes the combined efforts of many.
"My arms are sore from using it. It’s very interesting."
Others make bamboo cups, carefully cutting the bamboo and grinding it down into the right shape. After these workshops, locals put on a performance of music and dance, sharing their culture with visitors.
Chen Hou-min
Workshop manager
Our workshops have lots of package deals, including a special one called the “floating restaurant.” It’s one of our special dining experiences that also includes guided tours and cultural activities. We take guests to the Tanayiku Valley for a meal.
Chiayi’s Alishan Township is home to the Tsou people, who live in nine different villages in the area. With its rich history and natural ecosystem, visitors can learn about its indigenous culture and enjoy delicious food.
