Yuchi Township

Yuchi Township is an administrative area in Nantou County situated between upland regions and western plains. It spans roughly 2.6 kilometers east to west and contains thirteen villages connected by regional roads.

The original name Go-sia-po means 'five castles' and changed during Taiwan's administrative reforms after 1949. These changes reflected broader restructuring that took place across the island during that period.

The Thao indigenous people practice their traditions near Sun Moon Lake, and their way of life shapes what visitors see in the township today. Local customs and ceremonies remain part of everyday life here.

Provincial Highway 21 connects the villages throughout the township and provides the main transportation route for travelers. The Sun Moon Lake Ropeway offers an additional way to move around the region and access nearby attractions.

The area is well known for producing high-quality black tea that thrives in the local climate. Tea plantations are a distinctive feature of the township's landscape and economy.
