Heping District

Heping District spans 1,037 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, making it the largest administrative division in Taichung City and all of Taiwan.

The district transformed from a mountain township to its current status in 2010 when Taichung County merged with Taichung City through administrative reforms.

The district houses 4,000 Atayal people among its 10,889 residents, who maintain their traditional practices while living in eight distinct villages.

Local agriculture produces apples, honey, vegetables, mountain fish, peaches, and bamboo, contributing to the regional economy and food supply.

The Guguan Hot Springs near Dajia River contains multiple thermal pools surrounded by suspension bridges and mountain hiking paths.
