- 2011 April 28, John MacMillan, “A day in Cingcyuan”, in a tiny revolution (Blog), archived from the original on February 07, 2024:
- We passed through a large Hakka town (Hakka is a Chinese language, one of the three official languages in Taiwan; more on that in later posts) and then began to pitch and roll through a series of white-knuckling switchbacks up Hsinchu County Road 22. About an hour later we landed (which is really the only appropriate verb) in the village of Cingcyuan, an Atayal aboriginal community. […]
That being said, the Atayal of Cingcyuan are among the friendliest people I have met. I wandered through the village market and bought a homemade spicy sausage from a woman tending a barbecue. […]
“They are very innocent people,” said Yen Yen “And very generous.” I agreed, wondering when I could come back to Cingcyuan.
