Taitung County

Built around farming settlements of the East Rift Valley and Pacific coast, Taitung County grew into Taiwan’s broad southeastern county. The Central Mountain Range forms its western spine, while the county reaches east to the Pacific and includes Green Island and Orchid Island. The East Rift Valley supports rice cultivation and links Taitung City with smaller rural townships; the coast is marked by the meeting of mountains and sea. Indigenous peoples, including the Amis, Bunun, Paiwan, Puyuma and Tao, are integral to local life, languages and traditions. In Taitung City, the National Museum of Prehistory introduces the archaeology and Indigenous cultures of eastern Taiwan.
