Shueili Township, Rural township in Nantou County, Taiwan
Shuili Township is a rural administrative area in Nantou County situated where two rivers meet and spread across multiple villages. The landscape combines agricultural fields with forested hillsides, creating a mixed environment typical of Taiwan's inland regions.
The township became a center for craft production, particularly pottery work that took shape in the early 1900s. This artisan practice became the foundation of the local economy and continues to shape community identity.
The township maintains strong ceramic traditions that visitors can witness in active workshops and exhibitions today. People here continue to work with clay using methods passed down through local families and artisan communities.
The area is accessible by train or bus routes connecting different parts of the region. Mornings are ideal for visiting, as lighting is better for exploring and craft workshops are in full operation.
The area contains two dam structures that serve both power generation and recreation, creating reservoirs where locals and visitors spend leisure time. This dual purpose shows how modern infrastructure and outdoor activities coexist in the landscape.
