Yaoguaitai (Yaoguai Terrace) is located on the platform, right side of Laonong Riverbank in Taoyuan District, Kaohsiung City. It faces Meixiu Terrace on the opposite side, and was originally the place of residence of the Hla’alua tribe. They called it Tapuorokna, which means the monsters’ resting place. In the past, the Pingpu ethnic group of Shishe, who are living in Liugui District today, had fought fiercely at Yaoguaitai in order to resist the influx of Han people. Therefore, it was regarded as a taboo place. However, at the end of the Japanese occupation, the Governor-General in Taiwan began to actively assist in the reclamation of land. Gradually, neighboring tribes moved to this place from old Yusuishe or Shangbaolai.
Today, you can get there when traveling from Liugui to the right bank of the Laonong River. It is on the 10 km point on the Guanshan Historic Trail.
