Wushe (Musha)
霧社通往高峰的叉路口

The Wushe Kashe Historic Trail runs through Ren’ai Township and Xinyi Township in Nantou County, with a total length of about 60 km. The trail is made up of two trails, the Wanda Wushe Trail and Wanda Kashe Trail, which passes through the traditional territories of the Sediq and Bunun. In fact, the Wushe Kashe Historic Trail was the first Lifan road (Indigene management route) to be studied, because there are important Qubing archaeological sites along the way, and it is possible to understand the footprints of prehistoric populations, which has considerable academic value and indicator significance.

 

Renzhiguan
位於霧埔公路大觀橋和仁愛橋之間的人止關

Renzhiguan, located between Daguan Bridge and Ren'ai Bridge on Provincial Highway 14, was a gate that was set up during the Qing period to prohibit the Han people from entering the area and to prevent the Han immigrants from having conflicts with the Sediq tribe. However, in the early days of the Japanese occupation, the Governor-General in Taiwan launched a series of large-scale battles against the Sediq tribe in the Wushe area. Both sides suffered heavy losses. Later, the Japanese implemented the strategy of ruling indigenous peoples by their own kind and successfully broke through the defense line. In 1908, police officials were stationed in Wushe, and they devoted all their efforts to build Wushe into a model indigenous society.
