As the only landlocked county on the island, Nantou (南投) is often referred to as the "Heart of Taiwan." Geographically central and naturally diverse, this region is a sanctuary of emerald lakes, misty tea plantations, and high-altitude pastures. From the world-famous Sun Moon Lake to the quirky charm of the Xitou Monster Village, Nantou offers a profound journey into Taiwan’s cultural soul and wild beauty.
