Trakuban serves as an essential hub for Puyuma boys aged 7 to 17, where they acquire living skills, embrace traditional culture, and practice fighting techniques.

The craftsman leader Sulangalr demonstrates to build Trakuban using local materials while the elder chief Alisayan recalls activities at Trakuban in his days.

Renowned scientist Chung-Yu commends the Puyuma ancestors for their ingenuity in incorporating a “tuned mass damper” into Trakuban, akin to the innovative design of the modern Taipei 101 building.
