Gukut Police Post

Attractions along Suhua Historic Trail

Located in Xiulin Township, Hualien County, the Gukut Police Post is located 300 meters south of the Hezhong Hamlet. It is now a residential house, but still retains a complete wooden structure from the Japanese occupation period. In the past, the Truku people expanded north and established hamlets on the hillside, with the Pacific Ocean in the east and the central mountain range in the west. As the terrain and space resemble a circular pan-bottom, the place was named Gukut, and was the earliest settlement of the Truku people. However, during the Japanese occupation, several hamlets were collectively moved to the present location, and continued with the name “Gukut”.

In the post-war period, Gukut Hamlet was renamed to Heping, and later called Hezhong because it was located in the middle of three communities of Heping Village.
