Central Taiwan
The heart of Taiwan is marked by the highest mountain peaks on the island - Yushan and Alishan. Other mountainous areas such as Tongpu and Hsitou are equally popular escapes from the urban sprawl of nearby cities. Sun Moon Lake, in Nantou, is Taiwan's largest freshwater lake and is perhaps the most popular tourist attraction on the west coast.
Taiwan's central region is rich with tradition and culture. The Matsu Festival is a religious celebration which originates in Dajia while Lukang, one of Taiwan's oldest cities, allows one to experience historical Taiwan.
The following areas are part of Central Taiwan:
| Taichung (台中) | Changhua (彰化) |
| Yunlin (雲林) | Nantou (南投) |
