Wugui Cave Introduction
A mysterious and desolate old cave! Wugui Cave gives a sense of ancient desolation, where one can rarely truly savor the hidden connotations within nature. Wugui refers to the laborers who were brought to Taiwan by the Dutch, who became enslaved workers known for their dark skin; this historical fact represents a tragic story of slave suffering. In the 15th year of the Yongli era of the Ming Dynasty, after Koxinga expelled the Dutch, a few black slaves were abandoned and lived in this cave. Later, due to the slaves boarding ships, they were retaliated against by passing vessels, which burned logs at the cave's entrance at night, resulting in the death of the black slaves inside. It is said that the slaves turned into ghosts, and on misty nights, they often confuse Han fishermen who later migrated to the area, hence the name. Despite the tragic legend behind Wugui Cave, walking along the circular trail amidst the oddly shaped coral reefs provides a unique feeling of encountering routes where one seems to be at a dead end, only to find new paths ahead.
