Shayun’s Bell

Shayun’s Bell Tower is located in Liuxingshe in Nanao Township, Yilan County. The Atayal traditional name for the place is Lyoxing, which means bird’s nest fern that grew there. Due to the geographical location, it restricted the only passage to the Lanyang Plains from the Klesan mountainous area.  It is also the main pass to the east coast. Since the Qing Dynasty, it has always been the country’s most important battlefield. In fact, in the middle of the Japanese rule, the Government-General in Taiwan vigorously promoted the emperor’s movement and began to plan and operate the story of Shayun’s Bell. The Liuxingshe was the origin of the story, and the ruins of the bell stand can still be seen today.
