The Inago Police Post is located on the southern bank of Zhuoshui River, about 3 kilometers west of the Wanda Hamlet in Ren’ai Township, Nantou County. The police post was set up by the Government-General in Taiwan in the original Songlin Hamlet during the Japanese occupation.

In fact, before the Wushe incident occurred in 1930, Taiwan’s Government-General once moved some Truku people collectively to a place 5 kilometers west of the Wanda Reservoir. However, as infectious disease broke out 74 people from 14 households returned to their original homes. In the post-war period, the National Government completed the construction of the road from Wanda to Puli in facilitating transportation. Since then, the people from Songlin Hamlet moved to the current location.

Qubing ruin site is located in Ren'ai Township, Nantou County. It got its name from its curving stream and icy water. It was discovered by archaeological excavations in 1981, and thereby exposing the nearby Qubing hamlet. Based on the unearthed foundation stones and stone walls, it is speculated that the area may have had a row of stone houses. Among the relics found, there are stone arrowheads, stone adzes, net pendants, stone axes, pottery pieces, which prove that the early economic activities of the local residents were farming and fishing. The site spanned from the Puli Shuiwa Cave site to the Damalin site, with an estimated time frame between 1700 and 3600 years ago. In addition, from the large number of stone tools unearthed at the site it is speculated that the residents may have adapted to life in the mountains.
