Shoufeng
Shoufeng straddles the Hualien–Taitung Rift Valley in Hualien County, where the long corridor between Taiwan’s Central Mountain Range and Coastal Mountain Range has concentrated villages, fields and transport routes. The township stretches from the valley toward the Pacific coast and includes Liyu Lake, Hualien County’s largest inland lake. Its landscape shifts between low-rise roadside settlements, cultivated land and wooded foothills, giving it a quieter character than nearby Hualien City. National Dong Hwa University, founded in 1994, has its main campus in Shoufeng and brings a major academic presence to this predominantly rural part of eastern Taiwan. Shoufeng is also associated with Fengtian, a community shaped by Japanese-era immigration and known for its local heritage.
