Xinwangyang Hamlet, also known as Mariba or Mareba, is located in Ren'ai Township of Nantou County, on the 29 km point of Lixing Industrial Road.
The people of Xinwangyang Hamlet originally lived on the hillside of the Beigang River below the current site, with the traditional name “Mek-Moyau”. However, during the Japanese occupation, due to the fact that they lived under the sloping terrain, some people thought that the environment was bad and so they moved to the area near Xinwangyang Cemetery.
In the post-war period, due to landslides and concerns for the safety of living there, the village collectively moved again to a place with relatively stable land in the southwest and named it Xinwangyang.
Nowadays, most of the tribal people are engaged in non-tropical and high-mountain agricultural work, which is an important source of local income.
