* 隱藏嘉義的阿里山山林裡的溪谷秘境「達娜伊谷」,有著「忘憂谷」美名
Danaigu Creek belongs to the catchment area of the upper reaches of Zengwen Creek, and the "pomfret", commonly known as bitter flower, is abundant in the creek. In the past, outsiders often went to poisoned fish and electric fish, endangering the safety of drinking water for villagers and destroying the natural ecology of the original stream. Later, at the initiative of former township head Gao Zhengsheng, the villagers donated the fishing grounds that belonged to each clan to form the "Stream Conservation Association".
The conservation plan started a series of consultations and planning in 1985. In 1989, the "Conservation Team" was officially established and the "River Protection Committee" was formed. The villagers spontaneously formed a river patrol team to prevent electric fish and poisonous fish, and strengthen the prevention and control of river pollution. After several years of hard work, the Danai Valley Creek has become clear, fish schools are clearly visible, and the natural ecology in the creek has also been restored to life. In 1992, Shanmei Village won the Natural Ecological Conservation Model Award from the Council of Agriculture. In July 1994, the "Shanmei Community Development Association" was established, hoping to operate the village's tourism business in a community-based manner and drive industrial development. In January 1995, the "Danayi Valley Natural Ecological Park" was opened. In 2002, the Shanmei Tribe won the Presidential Cultural Award for its successful conservation of the Danai Valley Creek. Today, "Danayi Valley Natural Ecological Park" has become a new tourist spot in Alishan. Moreover, the success of ecological conservation drives the development of the agricultural industry.
