Toufen City

Toufen is a city in Miaoli County in northern Taiwan, made up of 32 villages spread across roughly 53 square kilometers. The area sits at about 54 meters above sea level and serves as an important administrative hub for the region.

The area was once a rural administrative district but gained city status in 2015. This change reflects the area's growth and its increasing importance within the region.

The converted community buildings show how people lived and worked in Taiwan during the 1950s and 1960s. Visitors can see how families arranged their homes and went about their daily routines.

The city connects easily to the rest of Taiwan through Zhunan Station and Freeway 1, making travel through the north straightforward. These transportation links let you visit other places in the region without difficulty.

The 32 villages each maintain their own administrative structures and community centers, creating a fragmented local network. This decentralized organization is uncommon for modern cities in Taiwan and shapes daily life today.
