Today is 𝑰𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝑷𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒔' 𝑫𝒂𝒚 ( #原住民族日) in Taiwan!

On this day in 1994, Taiwan’s Constitution was amended to officially replace the term “mountain people” ( #山胞) with “Indigenous" ( #原住民)—a significant milestone in the recognition of Indigenous rights and identity.

Twenty years ago today, August 1 was formally designated by the Executive Yuan as Indigenous Peoples' Day to honor this historic moment.

TaiwanPlus celebrates the vibrant cultures, histories, and contributions of Taiwan’s Indigenous communities with a special tribute: Atayal folk songs. 🎵

A new global survey conducted by design and architecture firm Gensler has ranked Taipei as the city where residents are most likely to stay long-term, with 64% of respondents indicating they would prefer not to leave.

The result places Taiwan’s capital at the top of a list of ten international cities, ahead of Ho Chi Minh City (61%), Singapore (59%), Sydney (58%), and Berlin (51%).

The study, which examined emotional attachment, quality of life, and safety, highlights Taipei’s strong sense of community, livability, and public satisfaction.

According to Gensler, cities that retain residents are often those that offer not only economic opportunity but also cultural familiarity, personal security, and a high level of urban functionality.
