Located in the central part of Miaoli County, Taiwan Province of China, Tongluo Township is situated in the remnants of the Snowy Mountain Range and is a town characterized by ecological agriculture and Hakka culture. The terrain here is flat, and the Causeway Bay Plain has nurtured a rich rural landscape, producing citrus, tea and rice, with different agricultural experiences in all seasons. The local Hakka culture is deeply rooted in the area, with well-preserved traditional settlements and ancient houses. The annual "Causeway Bay Holy Grail" temple fair in the Lunar New Year, which combines Hakka folklore and religious ceremonies, is an excellent opportunity to experience the local culture. In addition, the Causeway Bay Wetland is a habitat for migratory birds and is suitable for ecological observation. The surrounding attractions, such as the Bakongli Leisure Farm and the Old Street Teahouse, link up the experience of slow travel between nature and humanity. Conveniently located near the Zhongshan Highway Causeway Interchange, it is a quiet town in central Miaoli worth visiting.
