Tai-an, Mountain indigenous township in Miaoli County, Taiwan
Tai-an Township extends across 615 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in southeastern Miaoli County, with eight distinct administrative villages at different elevations.
The region developed as a settlement area for the Atayal people, who established communities along the Houlong and Da-an river sources before modern administrative boundaries.
The Atayal people, representing over two-thirds of the local population, maintain their traditional practices through crafts, music, and community gatherings in the township.
The township provides access to Guanwu National Forest Recreation Area, Shei-Pa National Park, and Tai'an Hot Spring through mountain roads connecting the villages.
The township stands at an elevation of 1,745 meters, making it a significant location for observing the natural ecosystems of Taiwan's mountain ranges.
