Lanyu is a small island located in the southeast of Taiwan, covering an area of 45 square kilometers. It is a volcanic island. Most of the island is mountainous, mostly covered by tropical rainforest and surrounded by sea. There is a group of aborigines living on the island - the TAO . Because of their remote location, they have developed a series of unique culture and construction techniques adapted to local conditions. That is the underground house, which belongs to the potential of Taiwan's world heritage.
