Meiyuan Hamlet

The Meiyuan hamlet is located in Meiyuan Village, on the right bank of Da’an River, at the southwest foothills of Jinwei Mountain, on a platform about 500 meters above sea level. The name of the tribe is Maylubung, which was named after the pool that draws drinking water for the tribe. Therefore, there is a pond on the land. The place is small and the terrain is low. After the war, due to the local planting of a large number of plum trees, the National Government named it Meiyuan (plum garden), which is the current name. In August 1963, Typhoon Geleri struck, and the flood washed away most of the tribe's farmland. Therefore, some tribes moved to settle in Heping Township of Taichung County, yet many people returned to settle here.
