Yangmei District

Yangmei is an administrative district in Taoyuan featuring varied landscapes that range from forested hills in the east to farmland in central areas. The district extends across a large territory that blends rural and urban development.

The district's name comes from the Qing Dynasty and refers to the bayberry trees that once covered the valley. As modernization arrived, these trees disappeared but the name remained.

The district maintains deep Hakka heritage visible in local festivals and community gatherings throughout the year. This cultural connection shapes how residents interact and celebrate together in everyday life.

Four railway stations serve the district for local and regional connections. National Highway 1 and Provincial Highway 1 provide direct access to larger cities nearby.

The district leads Taoyuan in poultry farming and contains some of the region's largest container warehousing operations. This industrial importance often goes unnoticed by visitors despite shaping the local economy.
