Wutai

Wùtái (霧臺) is a mountainous Indigenous township in northeastern Pingtung, the only township in the county with a Rukai majority and the least populated on Taiwan’s main island. The township is best known for Kucapungane (好茶舊社), a 700-year-old Rukai stone slate village designated as a national monument, whose residents relocated to a lower site in 1977. That new settlement was destroyed by Typhoon Morakot in 2009, displacing the community a second time along with several other Wutai villages.
