Puyan Township, Rural township in Changhua County, Taiwan
Puyan Township is an administrative division in Changhua County combining residential areas, rice paddies, and small commercial spaces across multiple villages. The region forms a rural landscape where homes and farms sit close to each other throughout the territory.
The area was originally a flat plain inhabited by Babuza people until settlers from Quanzhou in Fujian arrived approximately three centuries ago. This migration transformed the landscape and established permanent communities.
The township maintains numerous temples, including Lushan Taoist Temple and Shunze Temple, where residents gather for religious ceremonies and community events.
The Puyan System Interchange connects Freeway 1 and Expressway 76, offering a major entry point to the area. Exploring the region by car works best since settlements and sites are spread across the countryside.
The area produces a significant portion of Taiwan's milled long-grain glutinous rice, making it a primary center for this specialized crop. Rice fields define the landscape and drive the local economy.
