Aboriginal Handicraft Exhibition

When you travel in another place, gifts are essential for family and friends. If you go to Taiwan, the Aboriginal Handicraft Exhibition is a good place to shop. There are more than 20,000 different items and you probably can not find at another place.

The theme of the exhibition is Taiwan's Aboriginal Handicrafts. So it will feature works from all nine of the island's native ethnic groups: Ami, Atayal, Bunun, Paiwan, Puyuma, Rukai, Saisiyat, Tsou and Yami. The exhibition not only show the unique handicrafts to the world, but also make people understand more about the nine ethnics. All the items are labeled with the name of the aboriginal tribe concerned and an explanation of the design. Furthermore, the money can help the ethnics earn extra money as well.
