Visit the enchanting village of "De'enyana Community" in Alishan

De'enyana Community, a beautiful village in Alishan, Chiayi, is a paradise rebuilt by the Tsou people after losing their homes to a natural disaster. The name "De'enyana" means a sacred and safe land far from riverbeds. Located in Shizhi Village, Alishan Township, this hidden gem is often referred to as Taiwan's version of Shirakawa-go. With colorful houses reminiscent of European fairy tales, the village stands amidst stunning mountain scenery. Spend a night in this tranquil haven, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Take an evening stroll, relax, and even search for fireflies! Each guesthouse, such as Yagu House, Leaf House, Aunt Feng's House, and Jiangjiang House, seems to bear a person's name. That's because local Tsou residents rent out their unused homes or second floors to supplement their income. Some rooms and houses feature indigenous art, weaving, and creative designs that are truly captivating!
