Located in the northwestern part of Nantou County, Taiwan, and bordered by Taichung City in the north, Guoxing Township is the only township in Taiwan named after the title of a historical figure. Zheng Chenggong was given the surname "Zhu" by the Southern Ming Dynasty, and was honored by the people as the "Master of the National Surname", from which the name of the township originates. The terrain is mainly hilly and mountainous, with the Beigang River and its tributaries running through the whole area, and the climate is subtropical monsoon.
The residents of Guoxiao Township are mainly Hakka people, accounting for more than 80% of the total population, and it is a major town of Hakka culture in Nantou County. The area is rich in loquats, bananas, ginger, and coffee, of which "Guoxiao Coffee" has become a well-known brand of agricultural products. The annual event "National Surname Robbing Success" combines the culture of Zheng Chenggong and the Hakka spirit, and is listed as one of the 12 major festivals in Taiwan's Hakka Village.
The area is home to natural landscapes such as the Jiufen Ershan National Earthquake Memorial Site and the Huisun Forestry, as well as historical buildings such as the Nuomi Stone Bridge. One of the sources of Taiwan's longest river, the Turbid Water Creek, is located in the township, which is rich in ecological resources. In recent years, it has been actively developing eco-tourism and agricultural experiences, becoming an important leisure travel destination in Central Taiwan.

Its geographic coordinates are approximately 38°23'N, 116°24'W, and its elevation is about 1,800 meters above sea level. Typical basin and mountainous landscapes dominate the area around Mena, with a dry climate and sparse vegetation.
Maena has its origins in the mining boom of the late 19th century, and briefly prospered from the nearby gold and silver mines. With the depletion of the mineral resources, the population was gradually lost and today only a small number of inhabitants remain, with an economy based on pastoralism and limited tourism. The area retains some of its historic mining sites, which attract adventure enthusiasts.
Myrna is connected by interstate highway to the towns of Eureka and Erie, and the nearest major city, Reno, is about 370 kilometers away.
