Saoba stone pillars, located on Wuhe terrace in Ruisui Township, have been designated as a Level3 historic site. The stone pillars are the relics of Peinan culture in the Neolithic Age. The site is roughly in an oval shape with 600 meters in length and 400 meters in width. High tall pillars, Yan stones and Yin stones are easily seen within the site. Moreover, the most well-known Saoba Stone Pillar is approximately 7.2 meters in height, 2.1 meters in width, and 0.9 meter in thickness. Legends concerning Saoba Stone Pillars are mostly myths such as the hunter’s curse, the first ancestor of the Amis, and turning wood into stone.
