Pulai Creek Head Community Battle Road Introduction
The entrance to the Pulai Stream Head Community Trail is located within the Baolai Flower Viewing Park in Liuqiu District, Kaohsiung City. "Pulai" is the old name of Baolai, and the Pulai Stream Head Community is situated at the watershed between the Laonong River and the Baolai River. In the early 20th century, anthropologists discovered the "Pulai Stream Head Community" ruins here. This trail was said to have been constructed during the Japanese colonial period to control indigenous activities by building the Meilong Mountain artillery station. The road was built along the ridge of Meilong Mountain to mobilize labor to transport artillery tubes and building materials to the top of Baolai Mountain for the construction of the Meilong Mountain artillery station, thus becoming the predecessor of the Pulai Stream Head Community Trail, which holds significant historical importance. It is recommended to spend about 1 hour here. The trail is approximately 3 kilometers long, and to preserve its original condition, it was constructed using natural methods. Along the way, there are bamboo forests, acacia forests, thyme, plum gardens, and other plants, making the ecological diversity extremely rich.
