Maolin District, Mountain indigenous district in Kaohsiung, Taiwan
Located between 230 and 2700 meters above sea level, Maolin District extends across 194 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in southern Taiwan.
The district underwent administrative transformation in 1945 when Taiwan transitioned to Republic of China governance, establishing new local management structures.
The Rukai people maintain their traditional practices through community gatherings, creating intricate crafts, and performing ceremonial dances in the three primary villages.
Visitors can reach Maolin District via regular bus services from Kaohsiung City, with accommodations available in local guesthouses throughout the villages.
The district contains the Cotton Tree Forest, which provides shelter for numerous endemic plant species and serves as a natural laboratory for biodiversity research.
