Jianshi Township, Mountain indigenous township in Hsinchu County, Taiwan.
Jianshi Township is a mountain community in Hsinchu County spread across 528 square kilometers in northern Taiwan. It sits at around 1,589 meters elevation and includes several villages scattered across hilly terrain.
The township formed through administrative reforms during Japanese occupation in the early 1900s. These changes shaped it into a designated mountain indigenous region.
The Atayal people shape daily life here, keeping their crafts, language, and celebrations alive in seven villages. You'll notice how their traditions blend with modern routines, and visitors can join in local events and gatherings.
The best time to visit is during drier seasons when mountain roads are more accessible. Bring appropriate gear for high elevation and mountain weather, as conditions can change quickly.
Dabajian Mountain and Tapung Old Fort are landmarks that draw visitors to this region. These sites offer hiking paths and views that reveal the natural landscape and local history.
