Manzhou Gangzai Village

Gangzai Village is located at the northernmost of the Manzhou Township in Pingtung County. It is almost mountainous. The riverbanks of Gangzai River and its tributary Jiaoxi, as well as the river valley plain where the stream flows into the ocean are the main farmland for the whole village. In the past, Gangzai Village was the traditional territory of the Gaoshifuoshe of Paiwan ethnic group. Later, Amis people from the Hengchun area also settled here. The village used to be a passing point on the Langjiao Beinan Historic Trail, but today it has been rebuilt as the end of County Road 200, which is remote and inconvenient for transportation.
