Bunun Indigenous people were forcibly resettled here in the late 1930s. A Shinto shrine was also built on a small hilltop in the village next to what is now the township office. There was a plaque next to the site until around 2023, when the entire hilltop was razed as part of a construction project. It may have been formally known as Taoyuan Shinto Shrine (桃源神社).

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
