Halipusungshe

Halipusungshe is located in Yanping Township, Taitung County. It was where the Pasnanavan Incident occurred at the end of the Japanese occupation.

The incident was caused by the Haisul family who originally lived in Halipusungshe. However, due to the indigene relocation project, the Haisul family and other tribesmen were collectively moved to the west side of Luanshan in 1940. The tribesmen could not adjust to the new environment and fell ill at the new location. Feeling angry, they moved back to Halipusungshe the following year and attacked the Siusui (Qingshui) Police Post at night. Three Amis police officers, Inspector Sugawara and his family were killed that night. The next morning, Haisul and tribesmen continued to attack the Kaili Police Post and Kakaiyu Police Post. After the incident, the Governor-General in Taiwan searched for almost a month to find the Haisul family hiding in a temporary hut in Mount Piniyumayan. After persuasion, the Haisul family made an apology at the Asahi Police Post.
