Lanyu Township, Mountain indigenous township in Taitung County, Taiwan.
Located in the maritime region of eastern Taiwan, Lanyu Township spans several villages including Hongtou, Yeyou, Dongqing, and Langdao across its territorial waters.
The designation of Lanyu as an Aboriginal area occurred after World War II, following the reorganization of administrative divisions based on previous Japanese governance structures.
The Tao indigenous people maintain their traditions through wooden boat building, fishing practices, and community ceremonies that reflect their connection to the ocean.
Regular ferry services connect the township with mainland Taiwan, while local accommodations provide visitors with options ranging from family-operated guesthouses to modern facilities.
The population growth rate of Lanyu Township increased significantly between 2001 and 2011, reaching 3.79 percent annually, indicating demographic changes in this indigenous region.
