The rather remote Syuejian was visited in the past primarily by indigenous peoples and forestry officials. As a result, the natural environment was well-preserved. Vegetation and animal life were resources found in abundance. The old trail along the Beikeng Creek in the interior was used by the Atayal settlers in ancient times as they moved around and went hunting, rendering it rich in cultural value. Preserved at Tiangou, Meiyuan, and Siaqngbi Villages are unique Atayal customs as well as traditional crafts, which epitomize Atayal culture.

The trip to include homestay arrangement in a nearby inn will have among its highlights a village sightseeing tour, which includes stops at Siangbi Suspension Bridge and historical remnants such as the ancient cannon. An Atayal meal, an Atayal dance program, and a do-it-yourself scarf dyeing session are part of the tour. The Shei-Pa National Park welcomes you to come and experience it.
