For Patrick Lee, renowned Taiwan artist, the sacred mountain, Mt. Dulan holds great significance. It is a place of tranquil natural beauty, where the rhythms of nature continue undisturbed. This area has long been held as a sacred or holy place by the Amis indigenous peoples. Today, the Amis people continue to live in the plains and along the slope lands of Taitung and Hualien counties.
