Houli District

Houli District is an administrative area in northwestern Taichung that spans across rolling terrain with both urban neighborhoods and farmland woven together. The area blends residential zones with agricultural spaces, creating a mixed landscape of homes, fields, and small urban centers.

The area was originally known as Neipu before becoming Houli Township in 1955 and later gaining district status in 2010. This transformation reflects the broader growth of Taichung as the city expanded and reorganized its administrative boundaries.

The Chang Lien-cheng Saxophone Museum showcases the district's strong tradition in musical instrument manufacturing, particularly saxophones produced in local factories. Visitors can experience the craft heritage that has shaped this place for many decades.

Two train stations, Houli and Tai'an, connect the area to other parts of Taichung and surrounding regions. These stations make it straightforward to travel around and explore neighboring communities.

Military stables in the district have housed Arabian horses since the 1950s, a surprising feature that makes it an unexpected home for such exotic animals. This collection came about through diplomatic exchanges and remains a curious part of the area's heritage.
