Sustainable Travel Between Mountains and Sea: The Slow Dulan Guide
Project Overview

Dulan is committed to cultural and ecological sustainability, positioning the community as a learning space to explore the art of coexisting with the mountains and the sea.

Rooted in Austronesian culture and Amis traditional ecological knowledge, the project develops experience-based itineraries with strong market appeal.

Through a free digital guide and a paid print passport, it promotes local businesses while encouraging visitors to gain a deeper understanding of Dulan’s core spirit.

By advancing sustainable itinerary development and locally grounded guide design, the project aims to establish a long-term operational model that supports Dulan’s cultural tourism.

Overview|Dulan invites participants to enter the community and search for that map together.

Walking into the forest, participants will harvest bark from the paper mulberry tree and transform it into an ancient textile. Colors are extracted from plants and minerals, then ground into natural pigments, and symbols are imprinted onto the fabric—gradually piecing together a map of Dulan’s traditional territory.

Over four days and three nights, this is not only a process of labor and learning, but also a beginning— a journey of reconnecting with the land and rediscovering oneself.
