Cingcyuan (Qingquan) 清泉 County Rd 122 runs up a deep river valley in a rugged, chillingly beautiful part of the country that is too often completely cut off from the rest because of landslides. The last major village along the road before Guanwu FRA is Cingcyuan (Qīngquán).

We passed through a large Hakka town (Hakka is a Chinese language, one of the three official languages in Taiwan; more on that in later posts) and then began to pitch and roll through a series of white-knuckling switchbacks up Hsinchu County Road 22. About an hour later we landed (which is really the only appropriate verb) in the village of Cingcyuan, an Atayal aboriginal community.[…] That being said, the Atayal of Cingcyuan are among the friendliest people I have met. I wandered through the village market and bought a homemade spicy sausage from a woman tending a barbecue.[…] “They are very innocent people,” said Yen Yen “And very generous.” I agreed, wondering when I could come back to Cingcyuan.

A convoy of expatriates descended on a remote mountain village one-and-a-half hours’ drive east of Hsinchu City on Saturday, bringing with them paint, brushes and canvas for a workshop for the Aboriginal children that live there.[…] They are currently working in Cingcyuan (清泉), a small Atayal village. The village has a Catholic church led by a US priest who has been there for 35 years. However, until the Aboriginal Children’s Project rolled into town, many of the village children had never seen another expatriate.

The village of Cingcyuan (清泉, clear springs), located in the mist-shrouded hills of Wufeng (五峰) Township in Hsinchu County, clings precariously to steep slopes on both sides of a verdant valley, through which a sparkling river noisily tumbles on its way to the plains far below.[…] Although a greater sense of their cultural identity has been restored to the people of Cingcyuan in the past three decades through the efforts of churches, volunteers, schools and some government workers, it is clear to the first-time visitor that this village, like so many others in Aboriginal areas, has been neglected by the authorities and that its inhabitants have few opportunities to earn a decent living, develop their talents and work to secure a future.

Chang, who was placed under house arrest for 50 years by Chiang, spent 11 years at a house in Cingcyuan’s hot springs area. The house was no longer there as it was destroy by a typhoon long ago.
