history
Because of its remoteness, the Chunri area was outside the main lines of development in Taiwanese history. The native people of the region are Austronesian ethnic groups. A somewhat closer administrative penetration of the area only began in the last few years of the Qing rule. At the time of the Japanese rule over Taiwan (1895-1945) the indigenous peoples were forcibly pacified and Chunri belonged to the newly established Takao prefecture from the 1920s . After the Republic of China took over Taiwan in 1950, Pingtung County was established and Chunri became a rural community.
population
According to official statistics, 4662 people (around 95%) belonged to the indigenous peoples at the end of 2017. Most of the time it was Paiwan .

traffic
There are no provincial or county roads in Chunri. A municipal road runs in an east-west direction. This is the former Dahanshan Forest Road, 大漢 山林 道 , an old road whose route dates back to the Qing period and which had the status of a county road (No. 198) until 2014. Most of the road is unpaved and vehicles with more than 10 people are not allowed to drive on it. The ban has, at least in the past, been circumvented more frequently by tourist bus companies.
Agricultural products
The soil is not considered fertile. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, corn and millet are grown. In recent times, fruit growing ( mango , Java apple , papaya, etc.) has become more important.
tourism
Chunri is off the beaten track and has little tourist infrastructure. One possibility for nature tourism is the old Jingshuiying hiking trail ( 浸水 營 古道 ), which leads over a length of 15.4 kilometers to a maximum height of 1503 meters and ends in the neighboring community of Daren.
In the village of Tjuvecekadan ( ) you can visit a recently abandoned, centuries-old Paiwan settlement with typical slate-built houses.
