During Taiwan’s long colonization history, the difficult-to-survey mountainous areas, which were not described until late in the history of cartography, have been feared by some regimes as they hid rebels. Folded and wrinkled, they are the common “homeland” of people who have encountered diaspora due to the arrangements of regimes. After withdrawing from the tasks of extraction of resources and expansion of governance. It is a Zone that used to be inhabited by wild animals, Negrito people, the Truku tribe in search of hunting grounds, Japanese military explorers, soldiers evacuated from Myanmar who settled their colonies in the high mountains to reclaim and escaped migrant workers who had been displaced at current moment roaming here. Their ghost-like nomadism and migration have led to the drawing of a map of wandering within an area of Blank Zone.
