Basianshan was named in October of Meiji 43 (1912), when Uichiro, Uchida Koshiro and others came here to fight against the indigenous peoples. Since the height of the mountain was 7998 Japanese feet and was almost 8,000 feet, it was named "Eight Thousand Mountains" (Hatsusensan). This is homophonic for "Eight Immortals Mountain" (Basianshan). Basianshan and its surrounding mountainous areas are rich in forest resources and became one of the three largest forest farms in Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period. The logging of the forests began in November of the 4th year of Taisho (1915). In the 5th year of Taisho (1916), the Forestry Bureau of the Taiwan Governor set up a Basianshan branch office in Jiabaotai that ministered to various businesses. Afterward, after various transfers, in Showa 17 (1942), Taiwan Takushu Co., Ltd. was transferred to become a government-business joint venture. After the war, the logging business continued in this field, and the production volume exceeded the sum of the Japanese occupation period by the mid-1950s. In 1963, the forest farm stopped production. In 1978, it was established as the "Basianshan Forest Recreation Area", covering the 99th-102nd, 108-111 forest classes of the Basianshan business area, and became a well-known tourist spot in central Taiwan.
