Makatao

Located in Fangliao Township, Pingtung County, the Shuidiliao Village was originally a forest lowland. The Makadao people of Fangsuoshe who lived in Dawuli in the late Ming period began to hunt and cultivate here. Coming to the Qing period, Huang Maochun, the head for the Fangliao reclamation, led the people to cultivate Shuidiliao in 1711. As it was close to the mountainous area, trades with indigenous peoples were prosperous and gradually formed a market.
