The Origin of Neiwan At early time, Neiwan had a laudatory title “The village of Cherry blossoms”.
The Origin of the name “Neiwan” A legend has it that Atayal Tribes consider the local topography similar to bananas , and ” banana ” in Atayal language sounds like ”Neiwan”. Looking from the ‘‘Pan long bridge’’ to the ‘‘Neiwan bridge’’, the terrain of Neiwan looks like a crescent. That is the origin of the name, Neiwan.
In early times, Neiwan was inhabited by Atayal. Until the end of Qing Dynasty, there were twelve families of Hakka people coming over Neiwan. With the territorial sovereign right threatened. Atayal conflicted with Hakka people. During the Japanese Colonial period, Japanese intended to occupy the forest resources by expelling disobedient Atayal from Neiwanby force; however, Hakka people were still allowed to reside in Neiwan.
