Located opposite of Mt. Jiaoban, the Xikou tribe sits in the upper river terrace of the Dahan River. The meandering landscape features are similar to Mr. Chiang Kai-Shek's hometown, Xikou in Fenghua Country, Zhejiang Province. Therefore, Mr. Chiang named it Xikou, and called it his second hometown. Called the "tribe of the President" inside this forest, the upper Xikoutai is next to the Luoma Expressway and the lower Xikoutai is located 150 meters beneath the Luoma Expressway. The giant vine bamboo basket at the entrance is the common back apparatus for women. Strolling through the tribe, not only can you see the lookout post, barn, Catholic church and such traditional buildings, but also learn to be a one-day hunter!

Replacing the old suspension Bridge, the Xikou Suspension Bridge is 303 meters long, and it will take you to see the unforgettable and spectacular scenery of the Dahan River and the surrounding mountains.
