In the early 1940s and 50s, many outsiders who came to Wulai to make a living settled near the logger tracks to facilitate the transport of loggers and logging tools. These settlements were mostly near the Wulai logger station and the lumberyard on Guishan Mountain. Initially, they lived in simple wooden huts, which they later renovated into brick and tile houses or cement bungalows. What were originally temporary dwellings for loggers transformed into large communities. Because these communities were formed by the loggers, locals often called the area "Cheliaoping" or "Chezailiao," creating a unique settlement lifestyle.
