Wanshan Village Introduction
Wanshan Tribe is located along Highway 132 in Maolin District. After passing the Maolin District Office for about 7 kilometers, you will reach the entrance to Wanshan Tribe. During the Japanese colonial period, Wanshan Village was known as "Mandaulan," and the original settlement was located at an elevation of 1,475 meters under Mount Wantoulan. It was once the most remote tribe in Maolin District, and its residents are called "Oupunphuo." The old Wanshan still retains a complete settlement of slate houses and is home to the mysterious Wanshan Rock Carvings, featuring the "Mystical Love Story of Gubacha." Due to the treacherous roads, the village was collectively relocated to its current location in 1956. It is recommended to spend about 30-40 minutes to explore attractions such as the slate houses and the church located below the tribe.
