Daluoran Creek Introduction
The Daluoran Old Waterway Trail, also known as the Fushan Ma'an Old Waterway Trail, is referred to as "Tranan" in the Atayal language, meaning the confluence of two streams. The Mandarin translation is "Daluoran." Initially, the Atayal people from the Baling area in Taoyuan crossed the mountains to hunt here and found the abundant water sources and fertile soil, gradually settling in this area. This became the original site for the Atayal tribe’s migration to Wulai. The lifeblood of the village, the Daluoran Creek, flows through lush greenery, with the riverbed varying from narrow to wide. Schools of fish swim in the clear stream, and the beautiful scenery is breathtaking. Due to agricultural needs, the waterway was excavated during the Japanese occupation to divert water from Daluo Creek for farming in the village. Later, with the advent of tap water, the irrigation function of the waterway was lost; however, it continues to flow ceaselessly. The ancient waterway runs along the contour lines of the mountainside, with Daluoran Creek nestled in the valley. Occasionally, through the gaps in the forest, one can glimpse the shadow of the Baizong Creek. From the elevated viewing platform, one can admire the gentle flow of water, and the rocky streambed presents a stunning landscape.
