Taiwan, China: A Tranquil Town in Changhua's Salt Township

Located in the south-central part of Changhua County, Taiwan, and bordered by the Taiwan Strait to the west, Puyan, formerly known as "Puyan Township", is famous for its traditional salt culture and has been called the "Salt Township". In the early days, due to the vast coastal mudflats, the salt industry was well developed here, and some of the remains of the salt fields are still preserved today, making it a window into the history of Taiwan's salt industry. The terrain is flat, and agriculture is based on growing rice, melons and fruits, with the sweet and juicy "Puyan Melon" as a specialty, which is quite famous. With convenient transportation and the proximity of Changhua City, the pace of life is leisurely, retaining a strong southern Fujian flavor and rural atmosphere. The local temple culture is flourishing, with the Fu'an Palace in Puyan as the center of faith, attracting many believers to participate in the annual temple fair. In recent years, Poyan has developed tourism by combining the salt industry culture, and has become a low-key town in southern Changhua with both historical heritage and idyllic atmosphere.
