There are 29 townships, 3 municipalities and one city in Pingtung County.

1. There are definitely pros and cons to this approach to education. On the one hand it preserves tribal culture, and the other hand it removes aboriginal students even further from the larger Taiwanese culture which surrounds them. I live not far from a couple Paiwan villages, I teach several Paiwan students, and I've seen parents deal with this issue firsthand. Should I keep my kid in a village school and strengthen tribal ties? Or should I send them to another school outside the village, in the hope that it prepares them for life and work outside the tribe?
2. I haven't been to this place yet, but I think it might be overrated. You can see rocks like that in several other mountain locations, both inside and outside of Pingtung. It just so happens that those other mountain locations aren't famous.
3. This kind of traffic accident happens a lot. I was driving on Highway 27 between Pingtung City and Donggang the other day, and saw two such accidents along the road.
4. With Tomb-Sweeping (Qingming) Day coming up, it's very possible that someone lit a fire to clear brush from a grave in the area, and then left thinking it was extinguished. Many people fulfill this duty in advance of the upcoming 4-day holiday. Doing so leaves them free to do other things on their vacation.
5. Tough area to park in. There's a Carrefour near there, and it's not far from the Pingtung Train Station.
6. What's the deal with Linluo? That place is gangster.
7. My grandpa had Alzheimer's and I sympathize. Reigning in lonely older people with dementia isn't easy.
8. I can't be bothered with this kind of restaurant. Somewhere that far in the mountains? And I have to make a reservation? Nah, I'll go somewhere closer instead.
9. This article goes on to state that people in Shrdze and Mudan townships, which also have a high percentage of aboriginal residents, are NOT having more children than the rest of Pingtung.
