Huabanuo Police Post is located on the ridge line south-west of the Dafeng Police Post, about 1,930 meters above sea level. It was built in 1920, and was the final stop on the Huabanuo branch of the Batongguan Traversing Historic Trail. The outlook from there is excellent and the terrain is dangerous, making the location a strategic point. Therefore, the Governor-General in Taiwan set up three different types of cannons there. The firing range of these cannons covered almost all of the neighboring Bunun tribes. In addition, the building of the police post was designed and constructed according to the Japanese-style modular square method, using standardized building materials. Since it was built on the ridge line, there was no water available. Water must be drawn from an outside water source through water pipes of a thousand meters long.
