High mountains, clear water, slithering fish, skittering shrimp: Shanmeiis primarily situated on a slope at about 500 meters above sea level. The junction of the Tsengwen River and its tributary the Tanayiku River is just nearby. The area is densely packed with trees, with a pervasive sense of nature; the clear, sweet river water is the main source of water for drinking and irrigation for the villagers.
