Located on the western side of Wanluan Township, the Sigoushui Settlement is part of a series of connected Hakka settlements in Wanluan, including Wugou, Sangou, and Sigou. Since ancient times, inhabitants have relied on a network of ditches and irrigation canals for settlement and cultivation. Within the settlement, multiple Hakka Huofang (traditional courtyard houses) and ancient residences are preserved, highlighting the pioneering and living footprints of the Hakka ancestors here.

Situated at the heart of the settlement is the "Mu Shi Ju Cultural and Creative Studio," co-founded by Mr. Lin Fu-zhang and Teacher Yu-xia. Grounded in profound stone-carving artistry, Mr. Lin has spent many years collecting iron-pellet stones (Tiewanshi) from the foot of Mt. Dawu, refining them into stone art creations that fuse nature with humanity. His representative masterpiece, the "Changli Inkstone," demonstrates his deep affection for the land and culture. Teacher Yu-xia established the "Yu Yin Xia Fei Handicraft Workshop," which conveys the warmth of Hakka villages through works such as Hakka Yushou (auspicious amulet) sachets and patchwork bags. By integrating local textile patterns, colors, and cultural imagery, she has built a handicraft brand that balances aesthetic beauty with cultural value, becoming one of the most representative Hakka crafts in the Liudui region.

During travel itineraries in Wanluan, travelers can experience the culture of "Jianpaocheng" (Attacking the Firecracker City)—one of the twelve major Hakka festivals—and simulate the firecracker attack ritual. Visitors can also participate in the "Hakka Yushou Sachet DIY" activity, which combines Hakka floral fabrics with natural spices. By hand-sewing their own sachets, participants can feel the ingenuity and blessings of the Hakka villages, transforming the daily atmosphere of Wanluan into a unique, personal souvenir.
