茶山部落最大的特色，就是它遠近馳名的涼亭文化，村子裡到處都可以看到各式各樣的涼亭(hufu)，幾乎都是以茅草、竹子和木頭搭建而成，藉著木雕、石雕、圖騰做為各自文化的解說，述說涼亭內不同的故事。

Chashan tribe’s biggest feature is that its’ well-known pavilion culture, you can see all kinds of pavilions (hufu) almost everywhere in the village. The pavilions are mostly made of thatch, bamboo and timber. By using wood carving, stone carving, and totem to telling a story as their peculiar chashan culture.

涼亭文化是茶山部落族人交流的重要推手，在鄒族人的生活中，涼亭是集會與分享的小天地，有的族人甚至會把採收下來的水果掛在涼亭裡，和大家分享。就連外來的遊客都可以自行取用，取用前請說一聲aveoveoyu ─鄒語的「我心喜悅」，表達心裡的感謝。

The pavilion culture is an important connection of the Chashan tribe. In the life of the Tsou people, pavilion is the place to get together and share. Some people even hang fruit which they harvest in the pavilion and share with others. Everyone can take the fruit and say”aveoveoyu” before take it, which is Tsou language means “my heart rejoice” to express their appreciation.
