Yunlin 雲林 | Spectral Codex

Yúnlín 雲林, literally "cloud forest", is a mostly flat, rural county on the western plains of Taiwan. It is seldom referenced in English language discourse and is commonly considered to be one of the poorest parts of western Taiwan. This section aims to shine a light on this sadly overlooked area of Taiwan with its many cultural treasures and interesting historic sites.
