Zhuqi Township

Zhuqi Township is an administrative division in Chiayi County located in southern Taiwan, situated across hilly terrain. The landscape is defined by bamboo groves and tea plantations that shape the visual character of the region.

The area was originally inhabited by indigenous communities before Han Chinese settlers later introduced tea cultivation and agricultural practices. This economic shift shaped the region's development over many generations.

The township is known for bamboo craftsmanship, with artisans working in small workshops throughout the area. Visitors can watch traditional techniques being applied to create everyday items and decorative pieces.

The area is well connected by rail through the Alishan Forest Railway, which serves multiple stations within the region. Bus routes link the main attractions and make it possible to explore individual sites at a comfortable pace.

The Millennium Suspension Bridge stands as a notable landmark spanning the valley below. The local Bamboo Museum goes beyond displaying finished goods by showing how traditional tools are used in processing the raw material into usable forms.
