Nan'ao Township, Mountain indigenous township in Yilan County, Taiwan
Description
Nan'ao is a mountain township in Yilan County that spans across forested landscapes with rivers and diverse ecosystems. The terrain supports agricultural activities and settlements scattered amid dense vegetation.
History
The area was originally inhabited by the Kavalan people for about 1000 years before the Atayal moved into the mountainous regions roughly 250 years ago. This population shift shaped the cultural and social structure of today's community.
Culture
The township maintains Atayal customs through seasonal celebrations and crafts that residents pass down through families. These practices connect closely to the mountain rhythms and the natural world around them.
Practical
Visitors reach the township through the Hsuehshan Tunnel, which connects Yilan County and Taipei via regular bus services. The winding mountain road works best in clear weather and requires comfortable travel shoes.
