巴達岡駐在所遺留的水泥門柱

The Badagang Police Post is located 1 km of the Zhuilu section of the Hehuan Traversing Historic Trail.  The terrain is gentle, but the cliff at the south edge of the mountain falls steeply.

Traditionally, it was a Turuku village of the Badagang group, which the traditional name of this place means makino bamboo. It also has the meaning of striking battlefield. According to records, in the past, the Badagang tribesmen temporarily moved to the lower reaches of Liwu River for refuge due to typhoon destruction. When they returned to their homes, they found that the land had been taken by the people from Jingguan Hamlet. They made spears from bamboos and fought back the land.

During the Japanese occupation, the Governor-General in Taiwan established a healthcare center, education center, and police post here. Later, guest houses, clubs, and dormitories were added in promoting the Taroko National Park project as a resting area between the route of Fushi and Tianxiang.

Guanyuan Police Post
關原駐在所入口處的的疊石牆

The Guanyuan Police Post is located above Guanyuan on the Central Cross-Island Highway, about 2,580 meters above sea level. When the Taroko War broke out, the army sent by the Government-General in Taiwan attacked the Turuku tribe from the east side of Hehuanshan. Guanyuan was the first stop, and when the then Governor of Taiwan, Sakuma Samata, heard that the Turuku tribe had fought here, he named the place after the ancient battleground during the Japanese Sengoku Period, “Sekigahara” (Guanyuan in Chinese character). As a result, the route of Hehuan Traversing Historic Trail was changed in the middle of the Japanese occupation, and the police post was called Guanyuan in honor of the Governor.

In the post-war period, the Central Cross-Island Highway was opened, passing through the small hamlet below Guanyuan Police Post, also known as Guanyuan. The hamlet has a lodge, Hehuan police station, and Guanyuan gas station.
