The Chubean villagers only came to contact with outsiders during several annual expedition activities held by national aid organization.
For any information on the tourist services available, please call 0910-501-486,Mr Mathew Jiang Le Yi.
Since the tribe is still yet to be open to the outside world, currently it is recommended that religious and tourist groups and relatives or friends of the villagers come. If possible, please kindly inform the respective people in advance.
The village, as well as its several (more than 10) third-grade technical licensed chefs, would welcome you to try their culinary skills.
There is no need to apply for permissions to come into the mountainous terrain, though it is inside the restricted area.
The following is the general itinerary and expenditure:
Accommodation: the fees for living in the two churches or villagers houses is NT300 per person. Private rooms in villagers’ homes are available for families.
Lunch: Food in Chubean is mainly organic, either a la carte or buffet style. The cost is NT200 per person. For information, please contact (Liao Jin Chi)
