Lanyu, located off the southeastern coast of Taiwan, is a charming island known as Pongso no Tao in the local indigenous language, meaning "Island of the People." Inhabited primarily by the Yami tribe, the only indigenous group among Taiwan's sixteen tribes originally residing on an offshore island, they boast a unique maritime culture. According to tribal elders' oral history, our roots can be traced back to the northernmost islands of the Philippines thousands of years ago.
