Stilt House
You can see a house of Shihsanhang people ahead of you, with shed and barn, recreated based on old photos and records of Austronesian peoples, as well as historical materials such as the “Home of Taiwan’s Aboriginals” surveyed and drawn by Chijiiwa Suketaro during the Japanese Occupation in Taiwan. Existing aboriginal construction methods were also taken into consideration.
Shihsanhang people lived in raised wooden houses called “stilted houses” to prevent moisture, bugs and snakes.
高腳屋
前方映入眼簾的是十三行人的住屋,這是參考南島語系民族舊照片與風俗誌,以及臺灣日治時期千千岩助太郎現地測繪的「台灣高砂族之住家」等史料,並參考現存原住民之建築工法,建造十三行人的住屋、草棚和穀倉。
十三行人住在由木頭架高的屋子,稱為干欄式建築,俗稱「高腳屋」,可以減少潮濕和蟲蛇的侵擾。
