Nan'ao Township

The township spans across mountainous terrain with dense forests, rivers, and diverse ecosystems that support local agriculture and community activities.

The region was originally inhabited by the Kavalan people for a millennium before the Atayal people settled in the mountainous areas 250 years ago.

The township preserves indigenous traditions through seasonal festivals, traditional crafts production, and the maintenance of agricultural practices specific to the region.

Visitors can reach Nan'ao through the Hsuehshan Tunnel, which provides a direct connection between Yilan County and Taipei via regular bus services.

The Qilan Sacred Trees Garden contains millennium-old trees that demonstrate the natural heritage and conservation efforts of the indigenous communities.
