Shoufeng Township

Shoufeng Township sits between Taiwan's Central Range and Coastal Mountain Range, containing fifteen distinct villages across varied natural landscapes. The area stretches across rolling terrain that connects mountainous zones with valleys and lower elevations.

Shoufeng was restructured during administrative reorganization in Hualien County in 2010, which altered its local significance. These reforms expanded the region's responsibilities and development opportunities.

The township's name relates to longevity and wind, expressed differently in Hakka, Japanese, and Korean, reflecting the diverse communities living here. You can see this linguistic heritage in how local groups refer to their surroundings.

Shoufeng Station on the Hualien-Taitung railway line and Provincial Highway 9 provide access to the region. Train service and road connections make getting around the area fairly straightforward.

National Dong Hwa University has transformed this rural area into a university town that functions as a research center for East Taiwan. The campus brings students and researchers each year who shape the character of the region.
