Yanping, Mountain indigenous township in Taitung County, Taiwan.

Yanping Township encompasses five distinct villages spread across 456 square kilometers at an elevation of 1305 meters in eastern Taiwan.

The region remained largely untouched by Han Chinese settlers until the late 19th century, retaining its original indigenous character through generations.

The Bunun people maintain their traditional practices throughout the five villages of Hongye, Luanshan, Taoyuan, Wuling, and Yongkang.

Visitors can reach Yanping via National Highway 5 and Provincial Highway 9, with connections available from Taitung Station through the East Rift Valley Line.

The Hongye Teenage Baseball Memorial Hall preserves the legacy of local youth baseball teams while documenting their competitive achievements.
