  1. A group of friends from far away
  2. becoming the guests of the tribe Luvaniya in Taitung

  8. We put in the meat in this way
  9. (We were thinking,) what if we shared the local spirit and the local experience
  10. with those who really understand or those who are really interested in our products, and invite them to our tribe
  11. And show them how our elders farm in this land
  12. Close your eyes
  13. Feel it by touching
  14. It's simple
  15. It's true that there are many elders older than I am

  21. Just like the incenses the Chinese people use for worshiping
  22. It's my idea that
  23. I must show the origin of the millets to the children in the most beautiful way
  24. Could the experience of "The Farmers' Trip" be a start for the whole tribe to transform into a school of millet?
  25. We will host you in the most natural and unpretentious way
  26. Harvesting millet, or perhaps a stroll in a forest
  27. We will share these simple experiences with the people
