Bakuras Hamlet

The Bakuras Hamlet in Dili Village, Xinyi Township, Nantou County, is about 550 meters above sea level. It was mainly formed by the relocation of the Bunun people from Wenwen Hamlet and Jiali Moan Hamlet of the Kashe group.

During the Japanese Occupation, the Government-General in Taiwan set up a police post and education center here, but under the implementation of the relocation policy, Bunun people moved to Dili, Shuanglong and Tannan successively in 1936.

Today, you can reach Bakuras hamlet from Dili Village along Provincial Highway 16. The site of the former police post is now the Bakuras Farm, where the owner has restored two slate houses from the ruins.
