Neiwen Village Introduction
The Neihu Tribe is located on the left bank upstream of the Fenggang River, about 1 kilometer west of the watershed between the Fenggang River and the Liren River. It is divided into three parts: Neihu Alley 1, Neihu Alley 2, and Neihai. The Neihu Tribe was historically formed by the combination of four settlements, originally residing on the left and right banks of the Neihu River, a tributary of the Fangshan River. It is a historically significant tribe with considerable influence. However, after the retrocession, due to unfavorable agricultural conditions at the original site, the villagers collectively decided to relocate in the 37th year of the Republic of China, moving in phases from April 1948 to October 1950. Most relocated to the current site, while some members moved to the villages of Fenglin, Neishi, Shizi, Mudan, and Nanshi. The two major chief families similarly relocated to the Dongyuan Village in Mudan Township and the center of Lunjie Village in Shizi. The Neihu Tribe is situated deep in the mountains, relying on the Southern Cross-Island Highway for external connections, making transportation inconvenient. Most of the young and middle-aged individuals have left to seek employment, leaving mainly the elderly and children in the community. Due to the climatic conditions, the area around the village features wetlands, swamps, and tropical rainforests, which are significant characteristics of the locality.
