Songlin Hamlet

Songlin Hamlet is located on the platform on the south bank of Zhuoshui River in Ren’ai Township, Nantou County, about 3 km west of the Wanda Hamlet. It is named after the many pine trees there. In fact, before the Wushe incident occurred in 1930, Taiwan’s Government-General once moved some Truku people collectively to a place 5 km west of the Wanda Reservoir. However, as infectious disease broke out 74 people from 14 households returned to their original homes. In the post-war period, the National Government completed the construction of the road from Wanda to Puli in facilitating transportation. Since then, the people from Songlin Hamlet moved to the current location.
