In the summer of 2004, heavy rains wreaked severe damage along the banks of the Tachia River in central Taiwan. Then-premier Yu Shyi-kun directed various levels of government as well as non-governmental organizations to assist in the relocation of communities. In August 2005, 40 families from the Atayal village of Sunghe in Taichung County's Hoping Township successfully relocated to newly constructed homes on a hillside at a safe distance from the river.
2004 年夏天的幾場大雨，讓中台灣大甲溪沿岸受創嚴重，在當時行政院長游錫 $ 指示下，各級政府和 NGO 組織決定權宜行事，協助居民儘速完成遷村，讓受創最嚴重的台中縣和平鄉泰雅族松鶴部落，在隔年 8 月，就順利在遠離了溪流的山坡上蓋起了新家，將 40 戶受災戶遷居於此。
