According to Yang Nanjun, an expert on ancient road research in Taiwan, the place was called Jinshuiying (literally Soaking Camp) because of the fog all year round, abundant rainfall, and the terrain that is prone to accumulate water. Before it got its name in 1894, the camp was called Dashulinying, which was set up during the Qing Dynasty period. During the Japanese occupation, the Governor-General in Taiwan established the Jinshuiying Police Post in 1901 at an altitude of about 1,280 meters. It was an important base for government officials and business travelers traveling to and from the east and west. However, the police post was destroyed during the 1914 Jinshuiying incident. After multiple rebuilding, it was withdrawn in 1936.
