Wanshan Village Introduction
Wanshan Village is located on the 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 Village was known as "Mandalan Society." The original settlement was located at an elevation of 1,475 meters below Mantaulan Mountain and was once the most remote village in the Maolin District, with the indigenous people known as "Oupunphuo." The old Wanshan still retains a complete settlement of slate houses and houses the mysterious Wanshan Rock Carvings, titled "The Mysterious Love Story of Guabzac." Due to the treacherous roads, the village was collectively relocated in 1956 to its current location. It is recommended to stay for about 30-40 minutes to tour the slate houses and the church located below the village.
