Description of Our Community: Yang-Mei, which is like a rectangle, is located in the west south of Taoyuan. The length is about 13 km, and the width is not accurately established. We have wonderful communications in Yang-Mei. There are is the main north-south railway and highway in Taiwan and Zhong-shan freeway running through Yang-Mei. There is no other place with such a nice location in north Taiwan.Recently, lots of factories have been established here because of the nice geographical location, communications, and land price. The building of Youshi industrial park and North South Freeway leads the development of Yang-Mei. We do not have big lakes because of the geography and weather, but we built lots of man-made lakes for agriculture. Therefore, “hu (lake) or “po (hillside) is part of name a lot of places. For example, Puxin was named Caona Po.There is Beng Po, Tuniu Po, Ding Hu, and Shang Hu. geographically, the degree of slopes is usually lower than 5%. We grow rice in the lower land and plant tea trees. , Tea has become the most important crop in Yang-Mei. Yang-Mei is located in the interior so the weather is pleasant for inhabitants. Typhoons occur frequently in Taiwan but because of the geographical conditions we rarely have typhoons in Yang-Mei.
