Qingshui District

Qingshui District is an administrative area in the western part of Taichung that stretches along the coast toward the Taiwan Strait. The region is shaped by natural boundaries such as the Dajia River and the Dadu Plateau, creating a mix of residential and coastal landscapes.

The area has been inhabited since Neolithic times, as evidenced by findings at the Niumatou archaeological site dating back 4000 years. These early traces of human settlement form the foundation of this coastal region's long history of human presence.

The Ziyun Temple has served as a place of faith since 1750, where local residents gather to practice their religious traditions and mark important occasions. People visit this temple for daily spiritual practices and significant ceremonies throughout the year.

The area is well connected by National Freeway 3 and several railway stations that link residents and visitors to other parts of Taiwan. The infrastructure makes it easy for travelers to reach the region and move around.

The Gaomei Wetlands formed through sediment deposits from the Dajia River and today create a natural habitat for numerous animal and plant species. This ecosystem is a surprisingly important part of the region's biodiversity that many visitors overlook.
