Wanrong

Wanrong is a mountain township in Hualien County spanning mountainous terrain with peaks reaching about 1,500 meters elevation. The area contains six villages situated among forested slopes and ridges.

The area was settled over many generations by Truku, Bunun, and Atayal communities who have long shaped the region. These groups established the foundation for settlement patterns that continue today.

The six villages maintain traditional ways through active indigenous languages and customs that shape daily life in the area. These practices influence how people interact with their environment and each other.

Access is available via the Hualien-Taitung railway line at Wanrong Station, with provincial highways connecting to surrounding areas. Being located in the mountains means visitors should prepare for steep terrain and weather changes.

The Fuyuan National Forest Recreation Area is home to exceptional butterfly populations that can be observed throughout the year. Additionally, natural hot springs emerge from the mountain geology and serve as local gathering spots.
