| “Crossing the Rainbow Bridge” (muda hakaw utux) is the highest practice of Taroko personal values. The tribal people refer to the “Rainbow Bridge” from hakaw (bridge) and utux (spirit). The rainbow is the totem symbol of the tribal spirits. The life values of “crossing the rainbow bridge” are reflected concretely in the Taroko “hunter spirit” and “The land is our blood; the mountain forest is our home.” Hunters protect the land with their own lives; otherwise they can not cross the Rainbow Bridge after death. In the traditional belief of the Taroko, only those who observe the moral code of gaya will be eligible to cross the Rainbow Bridge and meet up with the ancestors. | |
The theme of the “Crossing the Rainbow Bridge” Bed and Breakfast is Taroko culture, creatively using mountain water to create a small waterfall. Through specially designed lighting effects, the colors of the rainbow are projected on the waterfall. This landscaping effect combines with traditional culture to produce a deep and elegant cultural introduction. |
