Mudan

Few communities in Pingtung County have a history as closely tied to the 1871 killing of Ryukyuan shipwreck survivors and the Japanese expedition of 1874 as Mudan. Set in the wooded mountains of southern Taiwan, this rural township is associated with the Paiwan people, whose communities have long shaped the area’s cultural life. Memorials to the Mudan Incident recall events that brought international attention to this remote part of Taiwan in the 19th century. The surrounding interior is defined by valleys, forest and mountain roads rather than Taiwan’s better-known western urban plain.
