Ji'an Township

Ji'an Township is an administrative township in Hualien County on Taiwan's eastern coast, blending urban areas, farmland, and mountainous landscapes. The terrain stretches from mountain slopes to the Pacific shoreline, giving the area varied geography that shapes settlement patterns.

The region developed during Japanese colonial rule through infrastructure projects like roads and railways that laid the foundation for the current administrative structure. These projects connected the area to other regions and fundamentally changed its economic development.

The Amis communities here keep their traditions alive through celebrations and gatherings where you can see traditional music, dance, and farming methods. These customs shape how people live and work in the area today.

Regular bus services connect Ji'an to Hualien City, running from early morning through evening for commuters and visitors. The quieter periods outside rush hours are often better for exploring the area and getting a feel for local life.

Local farmers grow vegetables and fruits here using methods handed down through generations of farming families. These traditional cultivation practices are closely tied to the history of Amis communities who have worked the land for centuries.
