Buzz Canyon (Titanic Call Center)
In the past, the male members of the Bunun tribe went out hunting, while the female members were responsible for housework. When the men approached their home tribe with prey on their shoulders, they would shout loudly in the echoing valley to report safety, and their family members at home would be delighted to hear them. Arriving at the "Buzz Grand Canyon Calling Station", people can shout out loud, experience the scene of that year, and enjoy the vast canyon scenery.

Camphor Tree Park
There are more than 300 camphor trees gathered here. It is said that Mayali was once hit by a fire and all the trees were burned. Birds ate fruit trees and branches and flew back and forth in the mountains and forests, dropping camphor tree seeds or branches in the current camphor forest, thus forming a camphor tree cluster. The beautiful trees scattered here are relaxing and refreshing. From the wooden balcony, you can overlook the mountains, listen to the flowing water, immerse yourself in the most natural forest bath, and feel the story of Namasia told by nature.

Namashya Japanese Shrine Ruins
In Dhaka Nuwa Society. The Japanese shrine is located in the original bamboo forest. It was the administrative district of the Japanese government during the Japanese colonial period. In addition to general settlements, there are also schools, office buildings and police stations. At that time, the Japanese would set up shrines in places relatively high up in the tribal living circle, which were geographically superior. A red torii gate is specially set up at the entrance of the stone steps of the Japanese shrine. The stone steps laid by the Bunun people who carried heavy burdens of stones up the mountain in the past still leave traces of time. The stone walls, approach to the shrine, sacred path and temple base of the shrine ruins are well preserved.

Namashya Millennium Cinnamomum camphora
The Kanakanavu is the earliest tribe living in Namasia. Legend has it that when the floods came, the tribal people took shelter at Teng Bao Mountain. Afterwards, the Kanakanavu people regarded Teng Bao Mountain as a sacred mountain. Stout camphor trees have also guarded the Namasia for thousands of years, giving the Namasia directions for generations in the deep mountains. Therefore, stout camphor wood is placed diagonally facing Teng Bao Mountain, which symbolizes the spirit of the Grandpa Stout Camphor Tree together with the sacred Teng Bao Mountain that is protecting all of the Namasia people.

Mayan Reconstructed Suspension Bridge
Originally named the Rehabilitation Suspension Bridge, it was built in 1935 and was located about 700 meters above the current Mayan Suspension Bridge. Due to its poor terrain, it is constantly eroded during the typhoon and rainy season every year, and its safety is a concern. Therefore, the villagers held a meeting to propose relocation. In 1935, it was rebuilt to its current location. At that time, it was only used by farmers on foot, but it was very inconvenient to transport goods. Therefore, another meeting was held to propose rebuilding it so that ordinary small agricultural trucks could pass through. The reconstruction was completed in 1994.
