Shu Police Post, in Tai'an Township of Miaoli County, is located at the northeastern foot of Beikeng Mountain, northeast of Erbensong, and at an altitude of about 1,730 meters. It was built in 1923.

The origin of the name, Shu (meaning dawn), is unknown but may be related to the landscape and the rising sun. However, the traditional Atayal name is Mai-leliuk, which means a place where many leliuk trees grow. Leliuk is a hard woody tree of the Fagaceae family. The tree trunk can be used as a hoe handle and ship beams. The fruits are often eaten by flying squirrels, muntjacs, squirrels, and black bears. Therefore, in the past, it was common to see black bears in this area.

The Rixiang Police Post, in Tai'an Township of Miaoli County, is located at the southeastern foot of Mount Jinwei, east to Xishuishan ridgeline, on the northeastern side of Erbensong, and at an altitude of about 1,410 meters. It was set up in 1923, and was named Rixiang, which means facing the sun, because where the police post stood faces the east. The traditional Atayal name for the place is Ulau-ladin, which refers to the soil being as hard as wood.

To this day, there is still an abandoned industrial building where the Rixiang Police Post used to stand. The ruins of the station can be found behind the building. The Shei-Pa National Park has set up a signpost of the Police Post.

The Beikeng Police Post was originally the administrative center of the Beikeng Creek Historic Trail. There was an education center, Wude Hall, medical facility, places for trades, guns and ammunition depot and so on, of which the buildings still remain on the trail today.

Around 2003, Xuepa National Park renovated the historic trail section from Guanwu to Erbensong, but due to natural disasters, the entire section was still difficult to pass through and was abandoned. Only a few parts of the trail remain.

The Hongxiang Hamlet is located in the foothills of Baigu Dashan in Ren’ai Township, Nantou County. It is 1,170 meters above sea level. The traditional Atayal name of the hamlet is Makanaji. The land is flat and fertile, and most of them have been converted into paddy fields.

In the early days of the Japanese occupation, the tribesmen first moved to the upper reaches of the Makanaji Stream and took refuge when the Government-General in Taiwan sent military police into the hamlet. However, they were forced to relocate to a spot 1.3 km north of the former site of Maisiduobang for better monitoring and management by the Japanese. Later in 1923, they moved to the current location due to the barren land.

The stone steps in Bazaishan are located in Ruisui Township, Hualien County.

Bazaishan is the first mountain on the eastern section of the Guanmen Historic Trail. The entrance to the trail is in the Fuyuan National Forest Recreation Area. Enter from the industrial road outside the Butterfly Valley, go through the old afforestation path to reach Nasida Hamlet, and the stone steps are on the road to the hamlet.

Due to the steepness, there are many stone steps along the way, especially on the road close to the forest triangle point, where the stone steps are very dense. Road closer to Nashida Hamlet is gentle and therefore, has less stone steps.

The Guanmen Historic Trail, which straddles Jiji Township of Nantou County and Ruisui Township of Hualien County, began construction in 1886 and completed in the following year. The trail starts from Jiji in the west and reaches Fuyuan in the east, about 105 km in length. It was the last excavated road during the Qing period but was not frequently used by the officials then.

During the Japanese occupation, the trail was used by the Government-General in Taiwan to force the Kashe group and Danshe group of the Bunun tribe to move to a concentrated village.

Nowadays, there is a marshland in the east section of the Guanmen Historic Trail, which is located below the ridge line of Bazaishan. Due to the humid and rainy climate here, many sections of the road are quite muddy. Although the terrain is wide, flat and covered with short grass, the bottom is full of mud and is easy to sink in when walking on it.

The Zhongling Police Post, located in Datong Township of Yilan County, was established in 1935 and abolished after the war. The ruins of the police station can be reached by a 3-hour walk starting from the Hapen camp. Then cross the saddle between Mount Zhongling and Mount Hongchai. Alternatively, start from the end of the Lunpi industrial road and it will take around 50 minutes on foot to reach the site.

Today, there are still two horizontal logs and a row of stones, as well as cement foundations and buildings at the former site of the Zhongling police station entrance, but they are all covered in weed roots.
