Songmao Hamlet

The Songmao Hamlet is located 3 kilometers to the northeast of Lishan, on section four of Zhongxing Road, Lishanli, Heping District, Taichung City to be exact. It is located on the shoulder-shaped flat edge between Dajia River and its tributary Hehuan River, with an altitude of about 2,300 meters. During the Japanese occupation period, there was a Taibajiu police post in the area, so it was named "Taibaojiu"; Taibaojiu was also spelled "タボク" (Taboku) in Japanese, so the residents often referred to the community as "Tabok". After the war, the residents moved to the current site on the side of the road. The origin of the name Songmao is unknown, but it may be related to the variety of Songmao pear.
