Tianshiang

Tianshiang is the site of an old Atayal aboriginal village at the confluence of the Liwu and Dasha rivers. Its name commemorates Wen Tian-shiang, who lived in the 13th century and was the last prime minister of the Sung Dynasty.

Scenic spots at Tiansiang include Shiangde Temple, Tianfong Pagoda, a suspension bridge, the Wen Tian-shiang Memorial Garden, the Plum Garden, and the Tianshiang Church. In winter each year the Plum Garden blooms forth, forming a sea of white blossoms stretching from the highway to Shiangde Temple. Shanyue Village at Bulowan, another old aboriginal tribal settlement in the gorge, offers a new and unique type of accommodation for the area.
