The Liugui Special National Garrison Trail is the first Historic Trail built during the Japanese Occupation in southern Taiwan. It was to protect the local population in Liugui and Meinung from being killed by the aboriginal every time they took camphor on the mountain. Nearby, there are paths and electrified barbed wires. Though destroyed at this time, white and coffee-colored stators for power lines and electric currents remain on treetops.
