Zhuoxi

Zhuoxi is an administrative township in Hualien County that spreads across mountainous terrain with several villages and settlements dispersed throughout. The landscape features forests, river valleys, and mountain passes that connect different parts of the area.

Indigenous people lived on this land for centuries before it came under Japanese rule in the late 1800s and early 1900s. After World War II, the area was reorganized into its current administrative structure as part of modern Taiwan.

Indigenous communities live throughout the area and their daily practices shape how the place feels and functions. You can see traditional crafts, local foods, and customs that remain part of everyday life for residents.

The area is accessible by road from larger towns in Hualien, with buses and shared minivans running regularly between villages. It's helpful to travel early in the day since public transport becomes less frequent in the evening and some areas are remote.

The area produces high-quality tea and other farm products that local families grow using traditional methods passed down through generations. These products are often sold directly by farmers and show how agriculture here remains deeply connected to local identity and livelihoods.
