Chihshang Township, Rural township in Taitung County, Taiwan
Chishang sits within the Huatung Valley, extending across 83 square kilometers of agricultural land with panoramic mountain ranges and rice paddies.
The settlement emerged 160 years ago when indigenous Makatao people established communities alongside Taivoan immigrants in this fertile region.
The annual Night Ceremony in November brings together indigenous communities to present their traditional practices through performances and rituals.
Visitors reach Chishang via regular train services from Taipei and Hualien, with journey times between three and four hours.
The township includes ten distinct villages: Dapo, Dapu, Fuwen, Fuxing, Fuyuan, Jinyuan, Qingfeng, Wanan, Xinxing, and Zhenxing.
