Sanhe Village

Sanhe Village was originally an undeveloped sandy ground. How did it become the green village of today? In 1943 a missionary from the US used the resources of the Taiwan Christian Service (TCS) to assist aborigines from Wutai, Sandimen and Majia to settle in Yiliao. The hard work of the aborigines cleared the stones and turned the sandy soil into farm land. TCS recruited a Han Chinese to advise the aborigines who worked in place of relief and were thus able to meet the basic need of each family. Their backbreaking efforts paid off and the people were able to live stable lives.

Sanhe village actually consists of three villages─ the Yuquan community, the north village, inhabited by Paiwan people; Sanhe community, central village, where Paiwan people live; and the Meiyuan community, the south village, that is inhabited by people of both the Paiwan and Rukai tribes.
