 Facing the sea with mountains at its back, Taichung is located in the middle of Taiwan. North of it is Daan River. South of it is Wu River. Dajia River runs through the entire county. This is an ideal place with nice climate for the settlement of diverse ethnic groups. Various ethnic groups of unique cultures such as Pinpo tribe, the aboriginals, the early Fujian immigrants and the Hakka all have settled down and cultivated the land here. This has enriched the local culture and made Taichung an important research subject for the historians who study the history of the development and ethnic immigration in Taiwan.


photo-about Taichung
  A friendly society and rich culture can be observed in those historical remains in Taichung, such as The Chastity Arch in Dajia, The Wenchang Temple, Huangxi School in Dadu, The Lin’s Garden in Wufong, and the buildings that boast classical architecture characteristics, such as The Zhaixing (which means “reach for a star” in Chinese) Quadrangle in Tangzi, The High Official Residence in Shengang village, and Xiaoyuan Villa. The eastern Dajia ceramics, the Dajia straw hats and mats, and the overwhelmingly worshiped Mazu (the goddess of the sea) demonstrate another aspect of local culture. The industrious and frugal Hakka has the reputation of establishing a fruit kingdom in Dongshi and Xinshe. The Tribe of Taiya distinct in their “pearl-shell dress” is the minority in Hoping village

 As a remarkable place with outstanding figures as Taichung is, it has created its own humanity landscape from the multicultural interaction.
