Liudui Hakka Cultural Park — Attraction in Linluo

Liutui means 6 mounds of earth. It is obvious that this Liutui Hakka Cultural park is devoted to the history of local Hakka people. The park is consisted of 9 constructions and a vast landscape, with ponds and some winding paths for walking and bike riding. After two hours strolling through most of the buildings, I found it is more for retail businesses, not much of a cultural type of museum or exhibition for demonstration the culture of an ethnic group of people. There are some pieces of events and things here and there about Hakka, but they didn't tell the stories of Hakka, there are none of their history at all. Is this a cultural park about local Hakka people? Well, I think it is definitely not a park about a particular culture. If this is just a park, then it is better than a regular a park. It has many buildings full of vendors that you may do some shoppings. It is a park suitable for a whole family to spend an afternoon. I saw many families propped up portable tents, strewed the lawn with stools and mattresses to sit and enjoyed conversations with friends and family members while their children were playing near by. One of the buildings has the theme of the Art of Coal on exhibition. I think it is a permanent one sponsored by a business. It is one worthy of visit. The guide is very well trained to explain display by display and conduct some experiments of its topic. So, in the end, we ended up buying some of...

The place was mostly deserted. There weren't that many exhibits in the park where you could actually learn a lot about the Hakka people. The place definitely seems like it's purely a money making attempt as one of the first "exhibits" you come across is really just a fancied up snake oil exhibit about charcoal. The people give you a cool demonstration but like any infomercial you quickly figure it out they're just trying to sell you on extremely overpriced charcoal. Shame, I was hoping to actually learn about Hakka people,...

許寶仁屏東縣三天兩夜之旅 第二天2023.04.30週日行程 同行者：年輕的翠華同事

■第二目的地〔六堆客家文化園區〕 11:15來到屏東縣內埔鄉信義路588號的六堆客家文化園區，翠華開轎車載我從林後四林平地森林過來距離20.3公里，車程大約23分鐘。屏東縣各鄉交通蠻流暢，車輛不是很多。 ■六堆客家文化園區牌樓很大，白色字體更是超級醒目，大門外的人行道上插著六種顏色長方旗，分別是左堆、先鋒堆、中堆、前堆、後堆、右堆，六色旗還隨風飄揚，氣派十足，這輩子頭一回來認識南台灣的客家文化，充滿新鮮感，就這〔六堆〕是什麼意思已經讓我好奇不已。 ■難得停車場相當美化，而且免門票入園區參觀。 佔地約30公頃，哇，也是很大範圍有得走哩！ ■主要展示臺灣高雄市、屏東縣十二個客庄的客家生活風貌。 目前是慶祝十週年紀念，11:25我們開始參觀〔六堆藝廊畫展〕，很有水準的作品喔！尤其一幅“宋代千手千眼觀音”畫作，靠近仔細觀察，真的有可能一千隻手掌喔！每一個手掌有一個眼睛，畫工好細膩啊！實在讓人欽佩又欽佩！ ■園區分成自然草原區、田園地景區、傘架客家聚落區、九香花園伯公區以上四大區域。 一個小時逛不完，肚子已經餓到發出聲音，趕緊覓食去；找來找去，終於坐定。 午餐吃飽了，猜猜我倆吃甚麼？ 小米大腸+香腸各一條切片共享，茶葉蛋兩個，蜜鳳梨愛玉+檸檬愛玉各一碗，哇，好香，超級好吃，尤其是米腸香腸搭配愛玉，呷了也唰嘴，一口接一口停不下來，真的喔！不一會兒肚子就填飽啦！ 我們又回去六堆文物館裡面坐下來吹冷氣，非常享受，哈哈！ ■其實林後四林平地森林和六堆客家文化園區，最好都能自備食物，當做野餐郊遊比較方便，否則園區太大，走到腳酸而且容易感覺飢餓。 ■竹炭藝術館 原本以為是賣竹炭襪或相關物品，但是進入參觀後，好多個讓人讚嘆不已的竹炭藝術雕塑作品，非常喜歡喔！觀世音菩薩、咬錢蟾蜍、台灣黑熊、十二生肖金碳元寶、關聖帝君、布袋和尚彌勒佛……，每一個藝雕維妙維肖，讓人越看越喜歡，太棒了！而且有竹炭製作說明。 ■沒想到六堆客家文化園區看點如此之多，還有煙草製造的影片，在一間小閣樓吹冷氣欣賞，超舒服耶！ ■廣大的草坪綠草如茵，又到處可見大樹林立，涼爽樹蔭下和建物走廊提供很多桌椅給遊客使用，又有水面綠到令人嘖嘖稱奇的人工湖，忍不住一直拍照留念，也繞湖賞景走了一圈才回到停車場。 ■收穫很多，增廣見聞最深刻的部分就是六堆如何走過歷史。 在今日所謂的「六堆」，是人民對於位在臺灣南部的客家族群聚落區域的通俗稱呼，其不是政府的行政區域劃分中的實際地名。 而六堆客家文化園區是客家委員會客家文化發展中心所屬園區，2011年10月22日正式開園至今。哇，我都快70歲了，對台灣各縣市各鄉鎮的淵源還如此陌生噢！ ●本園逗留150分鐘11:15~13:45。 接下來先開車返回屏東市翠華府上休息，補充體力，再進行今天最後一個景點〔千禧公園〕。 PS：翠華下廚展現傑出料理，15:28烹飪拿手好菜上桌，我們開始享受午晚餐的營養佳餚： 氣炸鍋烤雞腿、新鮮鱸魚味噌湯、電子鍋烘菜蛋、青椒炒小魚乾和豆干、以及紫米糙米飯。 彷彿在進補，把這兩天消耗的體力與熱量一次補足。感恩感恩！ 飯後聊聊天，談談彼此退休生活重心放在哪裡，雖然時隔二十幾年才再相聚，仍然...
