Kai Pi Hong Huang Cliff Introduction
During the Tongzhi period, when the Japanese army invaded Taiwan, Wu Guangliang was commissioned to plan the opening of mountain roads and pacify the indigenous peoples. He personally inscribed on a giant rock by the Zhuoshui River at the foot of Jiji Pucaoling. Subsequently, he sent people into the mountains to explore routes and opened the "Batongguan Ancient Trail" in the first year of the Guangxu era. This greatly benefited future generations, and his remarkable spirit has left a lasting legacy. The Ministry of the Interior designated this tablet as a national historic site of level one, and in 2001, it was subsidized by the Water Resources Agency of the Ministry of Economic Affairs for the environmental restoration, greening, and drainage improvement around the historic site. The inscription of the "Opening of the Honghuang Tablet" is bold and powerful, rich in ancient charm. In front, there is the old bridge pier of the Jiji Bridge, and behind it is Shitou Mountain. Hikers may want to stop here to admire and reminisce about the ancient times.
