Puli Township, Administrative center in Nantou County, Taiwan
Puli Township sits within a basin at 500 meters elevation, marking the geographical center of Taiwan with mountains surrounding its perimeter.
The settlement, formerly known as Posia in the 19th century, carried the Atayal indigenous name Sabaha Bakalas before becoming Hori Town during Japanese administration.
The introduction of Christianity in 1870 through a local resident named Khai-san led to the establishment of the first Christian community in the region.
National Highway 6 connects Puli to western Taiwan cities, with regular bus services operating from Taichung Station to various stops within the township.
Following the 1999 Chi Chi earthquake, Taomi Village transformed from a damaged rural area into a primary destination for ecological tourism in Taiwan.
