Someone once asked: "Where can the largest numbers of Ami people be found?" But the reply they got was not the tribal settlements at Kuangfu, Juisui or other parts of Hualien County, but on the "Shankuang Estate" in the Changshuwan area of Hsichih in Taipei County.
曾有這麼一個說法，有人問：「目前在哪裡可以找到最多的阿美族人？」得到的答案不是花蓮光復、瑞穗等部落，而是汐止樟樹灣一帶的「山光社區」。
