Haicheng Village and Zhangzhou Village were originally the living place of the Soulangh Pingpu tribe, so it is also called Fan Zi Liao and Bei Tou Yang. Then, during the Ming-Qing Enlightenment, the Yang family from Haicheng County in Fujian came and cultivated the area, so the place was called Haicheng Village and includes three tribes, the Fan Zi Liao, Bei Tou Yang and Lai Cian Liao. It became an administrative region in 1946.  

Haicheng Village neighbors six villages, with Xinghua and Liu'an Villages to the east, Anxi Village to the south, Zhangzhou, Dingbu and Jiafu Villages to the West and Jiangjyun District to its North, and it is the largest village in Jiali District as well. They mainly cultivate sugarcane and corn. Haicheng Community in the village and Zhangzhou Community in Zhangzhou Village together are called “Hsinan Community.” In the region, we have the two temples of Ching Chang and Guang An Temples, and the two historical sites of the Pingpu Tribes in the Bei Tou Yang, Fei Fan Tomb and Holland Well. There are still some Soulangh Pingpu clansmen living in the recent Beitouyang. Moreover, we have the nationally famous Song-Jiang Jhen Battle Array as the local folk art. 

Located at the central area of the Soulangh group of the Pingpu tribe, it is in the Siraya group. In terms of the meaning of Beitouyang, The Beitou in Pingpu language is witch, and “yang” means the livable grazing land. Until now Beitouyang still has its special custom of worshiping pots with betel nut and rice wine, and the Alitu religious ceremony is held on March 29 of the Lunar Calendar every year.

Late in the period of Japanese rule, people used the well water to make not only its famous apple water, but also tofu, salt, and many other things. Even Japanese inspectors and officials appointed people to get water for them to drink.

Located at the farm of the east Fesalun Piedmont, it is called Fe Fan because the tomb owner Tien Yu Chen was good at running. When requested by the Qianlong emperor to race with a horse in Beijing, unexpectedly, Tien Yu Chen ran faster than the horse. The Qianlong emperor was so happy that he gave Tien Yu Chen and his son the opportunity to see the emperor three times. For that reason, his descendants carved “Both Father and son have seen the emperor three times” on the tomb to record and spread the good virtue of the ancestors to their descendants.

Then, in the Ming-Qing Enlightenment, because the Yang family from Zhangzhou came and cultivated the area, the place was called Zhangzou Village. The village became an administrative region in 1946 and is made up of two tribes, the Fan Zi Liao and Hou-gang jiao.
