Kavalan people

Legend has it that the Kavalan arrived by sea from the east and that when they saw the stunning beauty of this location, they decided then and there to settle this bountiful land.

The earliest record of the Kavalan in history was in 1632, when a Spanish ship went astray to this area by a typhoon.

Eventually, many more Han Chinese entered this area and the life of Kavalan was forced to change.

In the past, Kavalan's men sometimes opted for shorter garments or exposing their chests and backs.

The white shirt has a round neck, long sleeves, and a row of Chinese-style buttons in the middle, adorned with black cloth on the front.
