Baolai Li
Baolai Li is a li in Liugui District, Kaohsiung City, Republic of China. It covers an area of 29.0149 square kilometers and borders Taoyuan District, where Laonong River and Baolai River meet, and it is the only way to Nanheng Highway. Baolai Hot Spring is a famous local sightseeing spot.

History
This area was originally the Bunun territory, and Hakka people moved in during the Qing Dynasty. Formerly Laonongli, Baolai Village was established in 1953, and Kaohsiung counties and cities became independent after the merger of Kaohsiung County and City in 2010.

Partition/areas
Baolai Li includes six districts: Dapu, Mizijiao, Baolai, Surova, Lelepu, and Zhulin.

Tai Po area
In the early days, the Han people came here to cultivate and discovered a large area of flat land, so they called this land "Dapu". Dapu is the gateway to Bora, and its area is adjacent to the aboriginal "Jianshan Tribe" of Taoyuan District. There are Hakka immigrants, Minnan people, Pingpu people, etc., combined with the Jianshan aboriginal ethnic group to form a diversified gathering place. The Datiekeng Creek across the "Jianshan One Bridge" is a tributary of the Laonong River. It is recorded in ancient books that there was a paddy field in the eleventh year of Xianfeng (1861), so the place was called the "Datieliao" settlement. The "Jianshan One Bridge" (the old bridge) of the Taiwan Route 20 highway, which was completed in 1970, is an important bridge connecting the Taiwan Route 20 Nanheng Highway to the Jiaxian, Liugui Baolai and Taoyuan areas.

Xiaozijiao area
During the Japanese colonial period (the period of Japanese rule), for logging camphor and the Japanese policy, a "post office" was set up in Baolai. Due to lack of manpower and worry about the aboriginal harassment, he fine-tuned 20 households of the Pingpu ethnic group from Pingtung County to this place. Among them, 18 households settled in the area of Mizaijiao and supported defense, and the other 2 households went to the "Surapo" area on the opposite bank to reclaim, hence the name "Shibagu". Therefore, the Liaozijiao area gradually converged into a city and became a trading and transportation hub. When it was prosperous, there were noodle stalls, grocery stores, pharmacies, lodges, foreign materials stores, and health centers. However, with the opening of the Nanheng Highway, the population gradually migrated to the Baolai neighborhood, and the Mizaijiao area also declined. Xiaozijiao is a necessary passage for early entry into the mountainous area. Pedestrians and merchants cross the Laonong River to the opposite bank via the suspension bridge, then cross the Baolai River suspension bridge, and enter the mountainous area after passing the "posting station" inspection.

There is a century-old mango tree located in the Supervision Station of the Highway Bureau. It was a resting place for pedestrians and vendors to avoid the scorching sun. This is how the place name "Miaozijiao" spread.

Polaris Street area
The scope includes the area between the No. 1 and No. 2 Bridges of Borai and the slopes of the bamboo forest. It is a peninsula-shaped platform formed by the erosion of the river street at the intersection of the Laonong River and the Baolai River. In the early days, this area was full of big rocks and pebbles, and there was no fertile farmland, so not many people chose to settle here. In the early days of entering and exiting the mountains, it was necessary to stop at the "Bao Lai Station" to obtain an entry permit, so people gathered here. With the opening of the Nanheng Highway, the tourism industry of Bora has gradually developed. Its streets are prosperous and the population gathers here to form a lively business district. Before the Bora Elementary School, the direction to the original "post station" was "Bolai Street", which was the main access road in and out of the mountains before the Nanheng Highway was opened. The width is also popularly called "cat and mouse road" by local residents.

Pulai Xitou She
It was originally the residence of Tsou people-Pulai Xitou Society. The famous Japanese anthropologists "Torii Ryuzo" and "Mori Uzunosuke" both discovered the trails of "Prehistoric Human Sites" here, so they were named. The entrance to the "Pulai Xitoshe Trail" on the "Guanshan Forest Road" is about four to five hundred meters above sea level, with a total length of nearly three kilometers. Facilitate the management of local aborigines. Plum trees, acacia forests and century-old Qilixiang are planted on both sides of the trail.

Bamboo forest area
There are 2 tributaries of Laonong River that converge through this area. In the early days, due to the restriction of mountain control, it was spared the destruction of development. Its natural landscape and ecological environment were preserved. The terrain changed from 500 meters to 1300 meters above sea level, and the view was vast.

"Feiyingbao" is the source of Baolai Hot Spring, and local operators use pipelines to lead the hot spring to the Baolai Hot Spring area, so it is also known as "Hot Spring Tou". Because there are often eagles hovering here, the name "Flying Eagle Fort" was born. One kilometer away from the "Bolai Inspection Station", the "Meirong Mountain Observatory" is located about 1,200 meters above sea level on the ridgeline of the "Melong Mountain". Overlooking Xingda Port. During the Japanese Occupation period, in order to treat the Bunun aborigines living along the Borai Creek, the "Meilongshan Branch Line" was also set up as a "special security line", along with police stations and fortresses, and local residents called them "big gun barrels". ", its whereabouts are now unknown. Later, for logging needs-to transport logs, the "Forest Affairs Bureau" widened the old road into a "Xiaoguanshan Forest Road". Now in the woods, you can see traces of various rare wild animals such as blue-bellied pheasants, emperor pheasants, and monkeys.

Lelepu area
Located to the north of the Second Bora Bridge, it is the northernmost settlement in the Baolai area. It is adjacent to the Taoyuan District and has a large river terrace, thus forming this settlement. After the Morakot (Typhoon) storm, residents have moved to the "permanent house" community to live in. Tea factories and plum processing plants have been set up to promote local agricultural products. It is located at the northernmost point of Baolaili, at the junction of Liugui District and Taoyuan District. The geological topography here was originally a pillow-shaped, pillow-shaped volcanic eruption. It is a volcanic pillow-shaped lava with very hard texture. It has been scoured by Laonong River for many years to form a towering terrain like a unicorn. It is arranged on the left and right banks of Laonong River, with the Laonong River Canyon in the middle, so it looks like two Bull confrontation is called "bull fighting."

Surabha area
Across the Laonong River from the "Tapu District" and the "Miaozijiao District", from the Kaohsiung Route 133 in the Baolai Street area, the Xinbao Road area after the Baolai River is less developed, so it retains a rich ecological environment. Resources, among which are abundant primitive ecological forests, old trees more than a hundred years old, insects, song and birds accompany them, it is like an ecological classroom, so it is set as an "environmental education experience industrial zone", and currently has an extreme sports mountain training experience field, Hot Spring Villas and B&Bs gather here.

Agricultural specialty
March and April of each year are the abundant production period of Bora's "green plums". The soil in the Bora area is alkaline and clayey, suitable for planting black diamond lotus mist. The main production period is from October to May. Liugui District is the origin of "Jinhuang Mango". Bora's mango has small pits, thick flesh and high sweetness.
