1. Description of Our Community
Pinglin Township is situated in rural southern Taipei County. Being relatively remote, the area was not developed until the late 18th century. Pinglin is a pocket of level ground set in mountain forests, whence its name, which means 'forest on level ground.' In early times Pinglin was a key waystation on the Old Tan Lan Trail leading from Taipei to Ilan. These days the old road has been replaced by the Taipei-Ilan Highway. The current road brings a lot of visitors to Pinglin and has made transport of the tea produce much easier. Both superior and inferior grades of tea bring a good return, and so for 90% of the people of Pinglin, life revolves around tea. These days, about 80% of the people in Pinglin still depend on tea for their livelihood. With the economy slowing down, however, tea is not as easy to sell as it used to be.But far more important, is to draw deeply on Pinglin's unique and refined qualities as a tea district and imbue the hearts and minds of local inhabitants and visitors alike with a deep appreciation of tea culture.
