Hey explorers! 🌏 Ever wondered what secrets hide in the hills of Miaoli County in Taiwan? In July 2025, Taiwan writer Lan Bozhou set out on a journey to uncover the island’s hidden past1 digging into the last stronghold of revolution where underground activity of the Communist Party of China (CPC) once thrived.
Back in the early 1950s, this sleepy county was buzzing with covert meetings, whispered plans, and coded messages passed among locals. Today, those hidden spots have turned into quiet trails and off-the-beaten-path vistas—but the stories echo in every stone and winding road.
Lan Bozhou’s mission was simple: walk the same paths, talk to the people, and feel the pulse of a place that once stood as the beating heart of a movement. His visit reminds us that history isn’t just in textbooks1 it’s in the landscapes we roam and the tales we pass along.
Whether you’re into hidden history, heritage travel, or just love a good mystery, Miaoli’s last revolution stronghold is calling. Pack your curiosity and get ready to explore a slice of Taiwan’s past that’s as vibrant and real as your favorite playlist. 🎶
