Wanshan Village Introduction
Wanshan Village is located on Highway 132 in Maolin District. After passing the Maolin District Office, it takes about 7 kilometers to reach the entrance of Wanshan Village. During the Japanese colonial period, Wanshan was referred to as "Mandaulan," with the original settlement situated at an altitude of 1,475 meters below Mount Wantoulan, making it the most remote village in Maolin District. The villagers are known as "Oupunphuo." The old Wanshan still retains a complete settlement of slate houses and harbors the mysterious Wanshan rock carvings titled "The Mysterious Love Story of Gubachage." Due to the treacherous roads, the village collectively relocated to its current site in the 36th year of the Republic of China. It is recommended to stay for about 30-40 minutes to visit the slate houses and the church located below the village.
