Taichung Lishan

　　   Lishan is part of Heping Township in Taichung County, at an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters. Originally inhabited by the Atayal people, it became a key junction after the Central Cross-Island Highway was opened to traffic — linking the eastern and western sections of the highway as well as the Yilan branch line. Thanks to its abundant production of various temperate fruits, it has developed into a well-known tourist destination both domestically and internationally. The Lishan Scenic Area features attractions such as the Lishan Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall and sightseeing orchards. The Lishan Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall displays indigenous cultural artifacts, the history of Lishan’s development, and engineering materials related to the construction of the Central Cross-Island Highway. The nearby sightseeing orchards vary by season, but the area is famously known for its apples, peaches, and pears.
