Guangfu has served as a sugar-producing centre in Taiwan’s East Rift Valley since the Japanese colonial era. The township lies between the Central Mountain Range and the Coastal Range, on the long north–south valley linking Hualien’s inland settlements. Its former Hualien Sugar Factory recalls the industry that shaped local development; after production ended, the site became a place to encounter factory-era buildings and sugar-related foods. Guangfu is also associated with the Amis, Taiwan’s largest Indigenous people, while the Matai’an Wetland area reflects the lowland ecology along the valley.
