Wugui Cave Introduction
A mysterious and desolate old cave! Wugui Cave gives a sense of ancient melancholy, where one can rarely truly appreciate the hidden depths of nature. Wugui, legend has it, refers to a foreign laborer who was brought to Taiwan by the Dutch and became a slave laborer. They were called "Wugui" because of their dark skin, and this historical reality should reflect a tragic history of black slave suffering. In the 15th year of the Yongli era of the Ming Dynasty, after Zheng Chenggong expelled the Dutch, a few black slaves were abandoned here and lived in this cave. Later, after black slaves robbed sailing ships, they were retaliated against by passing vessels, which burned wood at the cave entrance at night, causing the black inhabitants inside to perish in the flames. It is said that the slaves became spirits, and on misty nights, they would confuse the Han fishermen who later settled here, hence the name. Despite the tragic legends behind Wugui Cave, walking along the circular trail amidst the bizarre coral reefs offers a unique feeling of having nowhere to go, only to find a bright path through the dark.
