Xibao is located 161 kilometers away from the Zhongheng Highway. It is a large river terrace. Anthropologists have discovered pottery and stone spinning wheels on the Xibao terrace, which may have been left by humans in the late Neolithic period. About 250 to 300 years ago, after the Truku people settled in the Liwu River valley, they established the Xibao community here. After the Japanese implemented the Lifan policy in 1915, they were forced to move away. After World War II, some returned to the tribe. When the Zhongheng highway began to be excavated, vegetables and fruits were grown on the terraces of Xibao River due to the inconvenient transportation of vegetables in mountainous areas, and Xibao Farm was established. After the highway was opened, the Retirement Association arranged for the veterans to settle here. There is Xibao Elementary School on the terrace. It was originally a school for the children of the Xibao Farm workers, and later it was changed to Forest Primary School. It is the only forest primary school in the country and the only primary school inside the national park.

The main peak of Hehuan Mountain is 3,417 meters above sea level, which is the watershed between Liwu River and Zhuoshui River. The mountaineering entry is located at 30.8 km from Taiwan Provincial Highway 14. Since a radar station was built on the Hehuan Main Peak in the early years, the Hehuan Main Peak Trail is actually a road for military vehicles. After the troops withdrew in 2000, the National Park  reorganized this area and transformed old foundations (other than telecommunication base station) into a viewing platform. From the top of the mountain you can see Hehuan Peak, Qilai Peak, Nenggao Mountain, Nanhu Mountain, Central Sharp Mountain, and Yushan Mountain at a glance.

Qingjing Farm was established in 1961 and is owned by the Advisory Committee of Retired Officers and Soldiers of the Executive Yuan. During the Qing Dynasty, it was the pasture of the Atayal Wushe group. During the Japanese colonial period, it was changed to a public ranch. After the war, it was taken over by the Nantou County Government and became a Wushe pasture directly managed by the county government, covering an area of ​​280 hectares. In 1960, the Nantou County Government transferred it to the Retirement Association and named it "Jianqing Farm". In the autumn of 1961, the Forestry Bureau transferred the adjacent state-owned 36 forests to the Retirement Association for management. In 1967, it was renamed "Qingjing Farm", which has a meaning of a fairyland with clean fresh air.

On October 27, the 5th year of the Showa era (1930), the Japanese held a sports event here. The staff of the Camphor company, the Japanese police officers and officials who were stationed in the headquarters of Nengao County and neighboring areas gathered here. The garrisons were weak in manpower and were easy to attack and rob weapons and ammunition from. Therefore, the six Sediq tribes chose to revolt on this day, but they were outnumbered and suffered heavy casualties. It is known as the "Wushe Incident" in history. After the incident, Mona Rudo, the leader of the Seediq tribe, shot himself in the dense forest above the cliff above the Mahepo Grottoes. It was not until Showa 8 (1933) that his body was discovered by two hunters from the Sakura community. Nenggao County Police in Nantou Office bound Mona Rudo’s remains with iron wires and put them on public display at the Wude Hall in Puli. Afterward, they were sent to the anatomy room of the Governor’s School of Medicine to be made into bone specimens and then sent to the Department of Anthropology at Taipei Imperial University for classroom research. In 1973, Gao Guang-hua, then mayor of Ren'ai Township (the posthumous son of Jiro Hanaoka who committed suicide in the Wushe incident), and representatives of the clan brought Mona Rudo's remains from the Specimen Exhibition Hall of the Department of Archeology and Anthropology, National Taiwan University, back to Wushe for burial.

The second office of the Wanda Power Station of the Taiwan Power Company was originally the Wushe Public School during the Japanese Occupation and the site of the Wushe incident. In the 5th year of Taisho (1916), Japanese people set up Wushe Public School in Wushe area to provide education and placement for Japanese children in Wushe area. On October 27, the 5th year of the Showa era (1930), the Japanese held a sports event here. The staff of the Camphor companyand, the Japanese police officers and officials who were stationed in the headquarters of Nengao County and neighboring areas gathered here.

After the incident, the Japanese police piled the 138 dead bodies on the playground of the Wushe Public School, and ordered the police to cut firewood and cremate the bodies. It took three days and three nights to complete the cremation.

The Wugang Shrine ruins is located in Jiesho Lane next to the Wushe fire station. Enter the alley and walk for about one or two minutes you will see a red torii gate and stone steps leading to Delong Temple. This torii is the remains of Wugang Shrine. On both sides of the stone-steps there is an abandoned stone lantern, also left from Wugang Shrine. The opening of Wugang Shrine was on December 16, Showa 7 (1932), and the ritual day is October 28th each year. After the war, the shrine was changed to offer sacrifices to Kaitai Shengwang and Fude Zhengshen. In 1958, the government promoted Confucian education and renamed it "Confucius Temple". In 1960, it was renamed "Delong Temple". From the square in front of Delong Temple, you can overlook Wushe Street and Wanda Reservoir. 

In 1952, Taipower built Wanshantag next to the old Qilai Tai-power hut. Originally it was called "Qilai Temple" and was to remember those who died in the line of duty in the construction of the "East-West Power Transmission Line" since 1950. In the autumn of 1953, it was opened for worship. In 1980, a road was opened for the construction of the Papaya Creek Hydropower Project. Nenggao Traversing Trail and the original Qilai Tai-power hut were abandoned. Therefore, with donations from the engineers, the temple was relocated to the current site next to the Qilai Lodge. In the past, on the autumn equinox of September 23 every year, Wanshantang would hold sacrificial activities, and the line guards and supervisors who were related to this route would attend the event in person. In recent years, the road is no longer passable, so the Huadong Power Supply District Operation Office hold the autumn equinox festival at the office.

Qilai Lodge is located at 14.6K on the Qilai Tai-power maintenance road. It is also known as the maintenance center. It is a three-story building with reinforced concrete and each level has an area of around 150 square meters. Level one has a storeroom and diningroom, level two and three each has eight bedrooms, which can accommodate a total of 60 people. It is currently not open for use. Qilai Lodge was built in 1984 to accommodate transmission line maintenance personnels for maintaining the old east-west power transmission line, Taipower repaired the Nenggao Trail to use as the road for maintaining transmission lines and rebuilt the police posts that were left from the Japanese occupation into Tai-ower huts.  Qilai Lodge was not rebuilt from a police post. In fact, Qilai police post is located 1 km east of Qilai lodge, near the Tianchang River. The Qilai police post was rebuilt as the Qilai Tai-power hut but was abandoned in 1980 when a road was opened for the construction of the Papaya Stream Hydropower Project.

This is a section of Tai-power maintenance road near the Qilai Tai-power hut. The Nenggao Traversing Trail from the Japanese occupation period became Taipower's maintenance road after the war. In order to send the remaining hydroelectric power generation in the east to the west, which was in urgent need of electricity, so as to develop Taiwan's economy, the old east-west transmission line was built in 1950. For the maintenance of transmission lines, Taipower rebuilt the police posts left from the Japanese occupation period as a Tai-power station. There are nine spots in total, namely Wushe, Lushan, Yunhai, Tianchi, Junlin, Qilai, Panshi, Longjian and Tongmen, that provide accommodations for transmission line maintenance personnel, and storage for emergency repair equipment. Nenggao Traversing Trail became the main road for Taipower to patrol the tower. At the end of 1970, Taipower planned the "Qilai Water Diversion Project" to develop the water power of Papaya Creek, and built underground water diversion tunnels and dams in the middle and upper reaches of Papaya Creek. For the convenience of the construction and improving the maintenance road, a road for automobiles were opened from Tongmen to Qilai, and built the Tianchang Tunnel on the Tianchang Cliff. After the road was completed, there were only 27 kilometers of Nenggao Traversing Trail left from Tunyuan to Wujiabeng Mountain.
