Nantou 南投

Nántóu 南投 is the only landlocked county in Taiwan. Located in the geographic center of the island, it is home to a number of Taiwan's most popular tourist attractions (Sun Moon Lake, Qingjing Farm, Hehuanshan, Aowanda, etc.), and is the gateway to several more (Taroko Gorge, for instance). Getting there can be a bit tough as Nantou is poorly served by the TRA, though the tourist-oriented Jiji Line runs from Changhua 彰化 through to Shuǐlǐ 水里, not far from Sun Moon Lake.
