Daya District

Daya District is an administrative region in central Taichung that encompasses multiple villages and communities spread across the area. It contains schools, neighborhood markets, and a military air force base, all connected by local roads and public transport.

The district was formally established in 2010 as part of a major administrative reorganization of Taichung City. This reform reshaped the city's structure and created the current divisions we see today.

The villages here maintain traditional temples like Yongxing Temple, where local religious practices shape the rhythm of community life. These sacred spaces serve as gathering points during festivals and celebrations that mark the year.

The area is well served by local buses and has schools and markets easily accessible throughout. Plan time to explore the different villages as they are spread across the district rather than concentrated in one spot.

The district stands out in Taiwan as a center for wheat and grain cultivation, particularly growing Jobs Tears, a special grain crop. This agricultural focus is unusual in a predominantly urban region.
