The bunker ruins in Yanping Township, Taitung County, is a circular fortress with a diameter of 4 meters. It is located next to the Kaili Police Post and was used as a defense against the enemy. Today, only the foundation remains.

The Kaili Police Post was built by the Governor-General in Taiwan to improve the efficiency of monitoring Bunun people in the Pasnanavan area in 1924. The number of police officers stationed increased as police posts at Onzen, Siusui (Qingshui), Songshan, Kaili, Kakaiyu, Tavilin were successively set up on the left bank of the Beisilan River. The Songshan Police Post was withdrawn in 1930, and the control area of Siusui (Qingshui) Police Post was adjusted to cover the area between Onzen Police Post and Kaili Police Post. 

 

Zhongye Hamlet

The Zhongye Hamlet is located on the west side of Luanshan in Yanping Township, Taitung County. The hamlet was formed when the Bunun group of the Pasnanavanshe was forced to move away by the Governor-General in Taiwan during the Japanese occupation in 1938. At that time, the foothills on the west side of Luanshan were planned to be an important area for the indigenous groups to migrate to. In 1941, people from Pasnanavanshe were collectively moved to three hamlets in the north, central, and south,  and they were called Ueno (Shangye), Nakano (Zhongye), and Geya (Xiaye). Police posts were also built in those three hamlets. Nakano (Zhongye) hamlet was later renamed to Luanshan Community in order to beautify its name.

Suspension Bridge Ruins

The suspension bridge ruins in Yanping Township, Taitung County is located on the Pasnanavan Historic Trail from Siusui (Qingshui) to Songshan. The purpose of the bridge was mainly to cross over to the tribe on the opposite riverbank. However, the suspension bridge’s iron cable has been damaged and only the bridge piers are left. The tribe elders think that it was destroyed by the Haisul family when the Pasnanavan incident occurred in 1941.

The incident was caused by the Haisul family who originally lived in Halipusungshe. However, due to the indigene relocation project, the Haisul family and other tribesmen were collectively moved to the west side of Luanshan in 1940. The tribesmen could not adjust to the new environment and fell ill at the new location. Feeling angry, they moved back to Halipusungshe the following year and attacked the Siusui (Qingshui) Police Post at night. Three Amis police officers, Inspector Sugawara and his family were killed that night. The next morning, Haisul and tribesmen continued to attack the Kaili Police Post and Kakaiyu Police Post.
