( taiwaneverything.cc )

  • Tea in Nantou – 南投縣文化中茶的角色

  • Nantou County is the largest tea-producing region on the Island of Taiwan and the birthplace of the world-renowned Dong Ding Oolong. The region’s unique microclimate—defined by high altitudes, cool temperatures, and constant mountain fog—is ideal for growing high-quality tea leaves that are naturally less bitter and rich in pectin.

  • Signature teas of Nantou: (i) Dong Ding Oolong: Traditionally grown on Dong Ding Mountain in Lugu. It is a semi-oxidized, ball-rolled tea known for its “nutty, caramel, and chestnut” flavor profile and floral aroma; (ii) Sun Moon Lake Black Tea (Ruby #18): A unique hybrid (Assam and Taiwanese wild tea) from Yuchi Township. It features a distinct “Red Jade” character with notes of cinnamon and mint; (iii) Four Seasons Spring (Si Ji Chun): Widely grown in Mingjian Township, this cultivar is harvested year-round and offers a light, floral, and nectar-sweet profile; and (iv) High Mountain Oolongs: Grown at elevations above 1000 meters in areas like Shanlinxi (Sun-Link-Sea), Lushan, and Yushan. These teas are prized for their delicate, “buttery” texture and fresh, green aroma

  • Major Tea Regions & Attractions: (i) Lugu Township: The heart of Dong Ding Oolong production. Home to the Lugu Tea Culture Museum and the world’s largest tea competitions; (ii) Mingjian Township: Famous for the Songboling Tea Street, a dense settlement of nearly 100 tea shops near the Shou Tian Temple; (iii) Yuchi Township (Sun Moon Lake): Best known for black tea. Popular stops include the Hohocha Tea Center, which offers tea-infused snacks and free tastings, and the Antique Assam Tea Farm’ and (iv) Zhushan Township: Home to the picturesque Bagua Tea Plantations and the Yoshan Tea center.

  • Popular Tea Products from Nantou: (i) 2023 Nantou Dong Ding: A medium-roast spring oolong with rich, comforting notes. Available at The Cha Tong; (ii) 10-Year Aged Lao Cha Oolong: A complex, dark-roasted aged oolong with chocolate and cacao notes. Available at Path Of Cha; and (iii) Nantou Ruby #18 Black Tea: Premium loose-leaf black tea with malt and cinnamon notes. Available at Fong Mong Tea Shop.

  • 竹山紫南宮 (Zhu Shan Xi Nan Temple) is one of Taiwan’s most popular Tudigong (Earth God) temples. It is nicknamed the “Divine Bank” since worshippers often visit to “borrow” lucky money (up to NT$600) to invest in their businesses, believing it brings prosperity. It is also famous for a “five-star” luxury restroom that cost millions to build.

  • Shrines of Nantou – 南投縣文化中聖地的角色

  • Nantou County is home to several significant religious sites, ranging from grand lakeside temples to unique local shrines famous for quirky traditions. Many of these sites were rebuilt or relocated following the devastating 921 Earthquake in 1999.

  • Shilong Temple A unique Taoist site in Zhongliao Township, also known as the “Instant Noodle Land God Temple”. It is famous for offering free instant noodles to visitors, with shelves often stacked high with donated cup noodles as offerings.

  • Xuan Zang Temple is a serene Buddhist temple overlooking Sun Moon Lake that enshrines the relics of the famous Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang. It features a “wake up bell” and houses Buddhist scriptures brought back from India by the monk himself.

  • Jiji Wuchang Temple This temple remains a powerful memorial to the 921 Earthquake; the original century-old structure collapsed during the quake and has been preserved in its ruined state as a reminder of the disaster.

  • Paper Dome While technically a church, this structure is a major spiritual landmark in Puli. Originally built as a temporary Catholic church in Kobe, Japan, after the 1995 earthquake, it was donated and moved to Nantou in 2008 as a symbol of friendship and recovery.

  • Lantian Academy Also known as the Nantou Wenchang Temple, this is a national historic site where locals pray for academic success.
