Pulai Creek Tou She Combat Road Introduction
The entrance to the Pulai Creek Head Society Trail is located within the Baolai Flower Appreciation Park in Liugui District, Kaohsiung City. "Pulai" is the old name of Baolai, and Pulai Creek Head Society is situated at the watershed between the Laonong Creek and Baolai Creek. In the early 20th century, a Japanese anthropologist discovered the ruins of the "Pulai Creek Head Society" here. This trail was reportedly built during the Japanese colonial period to control the activities of indigenous people, with the Meilong Mountain Cannon Platform constructed along the ridge of Meilong Mountain. The road was built to mobilize laborers to transport cannon barrels and construction materials to the summit of Baolai Peak for the establishment of the Meilong Mountain Cannon Platform, becoming the precursor to the Pulai Creek Head Society Trail, which is of significant historical importance. The suggested stopover time is about 1 hour, with the trail extending approximately 3 kilometers. To preserve its original appearance, construction has used natural methods, and along the way, there are bamboo groves, acacia forests, thyme, and plum orchards, making the plant ecology exceedingly rich.
