Nanshi Hamlet

The Nanshi Hamlet is located on the flat terrace, right of Dajia riverbank, at the southern foothills of Chuyunshan in Heping District, Taichung City. The people of Nanshi Hamlet originally lived in Baimaoshe near the Baimaoxishan ridge and Alengshe in the northern valley of the Alengshan. However, in the early days of Japanese rule, with the establishment of the Aiyong Border in Baimaoshan ridge, the people of Baimaoshe and Alengshe migrated downwards to live in the lower reaches of Baimao River. In 1927, they moved with the people from nearby hamlets to the present location and named it Nanshi Hamlet. Since the residents of the Nanshi Hamlet mainly came from Baimaoshe and Alengshe, the hamlet was also known as the new Baimao.
