Fuxing Hamlet

Attractions along Guanshan Historic Trail

The Fuxing hamlet (Uaasik) is located in Fuxingli, Taoyuan District, Kaohsiung City. In the Bunun language, it is called Uaasik, which means a place that grows palms because there are many wild mountain palms here. The locals are more accustomed to using the Japanese translation of Bibiuw (bibiyoshe or Bibiwushe). The people originally lived scattered among the mountains and forests. During the Japanese colonial period, the Japanese implemented the policy of managing the indigenous peoples and forced the relocation of the tribe to concentrate on the left bank of the Laonong River, which is the platform about 2 kilometers east of the confluence of the Laonong River and the Lakesi River. At the end of the Japanese occupation, malaria broke out in the villages,causing the people to migrate, and the population dropped sharply. It was not until after the liberation that the malaria epidemic slowed down that the population gradually returned. At present, people mainly live near the present Fuxing Police Station. Since this hamlet is further away from the Southern Cross-island Highway, the settlements are scattered and small in scale.

The image is of Fuxing hamlet looking down from the Southern Cross-island Highway. During the Morakot typhoon disaster in 2009, the hamlets along the Laonong River as well as the Fuxing hamlet were severely damaged. It can be seen in the photo that the Laonong River bed is piled up, the turbid water is rolling, and the Fuxing Bridge on the north side of the hamlet, which crosses the Laonong River was also washed away.
