Neipu was originally occupied by the Makatao people (one of the Taiwanese plains indigenous peoples) and was later reclaimed by Hakka people. It belonged to “Hou” (back) Dui (Hakka groups/regions in Qing Dynasty) of the Liu (six) Dui’s. The town has a strong scholarly style, producing many scholarly and cultural talents and elites. Pingtung University of Science and Technology has the largest campus ground in all of Taiwan, while Changli Temple is the only temple in Taiwan dedicated to Han Yu, a Chinese historian, poet, philosopher, and politician during Tang Dynasty. Every year, Han Yu Cultural Festival brings exam candidates here to pray for good test results.

Hakka delicacies
Flat rice noodles
Ban, which is made by grinding rice with water into a pulp that is then steamed, when cut into strips, becomes flat rice noodles. Stir-fried flat rice noodles are made with fried shallots and pork strips. Flat rice noodles in soup are made with broth and chives. They are both delicious Hakka dishes.
Hakka peanut tofu
Peanut tofu is actually not tofu! It is a Hakka dessert made of peanuts, long-grain rice, and sweet potato flour. The taste is full of peanut aroma, and the texture is soft and dense. When eaten with soy sauce, the salty and sweet flavor is unforgettable.
