Beitun District

Beitun District spreads across mountainous and urban areas in northern Taichung, blending residential neighborhoods with open land. The region is connected by rail stations, a metro system, and highways that link it to the wider city.

The district was originally part of Taichung provincial city before joining the greater Taichung municipality in 2010. This administrative change brought new connections and development plans to the area.

The district contains traditional temples where locals light incense and make offerings as part of their spiritual practices. These religious spaces reflect how faith is woven into the rhythms of daily community life here.

The district is easy to reach by public transport with rail and bus stations scattered throughout different areas. Wear comfortable shoes if you plan to explore the hilly neighborhoods or hiking trails in the region.

The district is home to a trail system in the Dakeng mountain area with multiple routes at varying difficulty levels. Some paths lead to viewpoints where you can look out over the city below.
