Laichupo

Laichupo (赖厝埔) refers to a historical area and former village located in Taichung City, Taiwan. It is now largely integrated into the urban landscape, specifically within the Xitun District (西屯區). The name "Laichupo" literally translates to "Lai's Settlement Area," indicating that it was historically a settlement predominantly inhabited by the Lai family.

Historically, Laichupo was characterized by agricultural land and traditional Taiwanese architecture. Over time, with the rapid urbanization of Taichung, Laichupo has undergone significant development. Many of the original farmlands have been converted into residential and commercial areas.

While the distinct boundaries of Laichupo as a separate village are no longer clearly defined, the name is still used by some local residents to refer to the general area. Certain landmarks, such as temples or older community centers, may retain the name "Laichupo," serving as reminders of the area's past. The area is known for its local culture and traditions, which are being preserved and adapted alongside modern development. Further research into local historical societies or archives would likely provide more detailed information on the specific history and cultural significance of Laichupo.
