Emei, Administrative division in Hsinchu County, Taiwan
Emei is a township in Hsinchu County in northern Taiwan. The area covers farmland and rural settlements spread across rolling terrain with scattered residential communities.
The area developed from rural territory under Japanese rule to an established township under Republic of China administration after 1945. These administrative transitions shaped the region's current structure.
Local residents maintain agricultural traditions through regular community gatherings in town squares, where they exchange farming techniques and celebrate harvests.
Buses connect the township regularly to larger cities in the region and run throughout the day from central transportation hubs. The best time to visit is during milder seasons when the landscape is most accessible.
The name is called Ngô-mì-hiông in local Hakka speech and Gô-bî-hiong in Min Nan, showing Taiwan's linguistic variety in everyday naming. These multilingual labels remain alive in the local community today and are used by older residents.
