Neiwan

Although a prosperous community in the 60s, the economy of Neiwan suffered greatly with the closure of the local mines and the town languished as an isolated backwater for around thirty years. Then in the early 2000s, the town's preserved historic buildings and traditional culture suddenly began to be in vogue with city dwellers, and this has resulted in the town gaining a certain prominence as a tourist destination in recent years.

Neiwan (內灣) is a city in Hsinchu County.

Neiwan is the entrance to the Atayal mountain communities. Continuing forward from Neiwan, the river valley makes a sharp turn left, and you'll come across a large sharp boulder in the middle of the river, the namesake for 尖石. Crossing the bridge here is the entrance to the mountain communities. Be sure to fill up with gas between Neiwan and the bridge as that's your last chance.

gollark: That sounds like a highly inefficient way to say "a thing to take ZFS snapshots on command".
gollark: I am very happy that none of my stuff ever has to deal with more than something like a few requests a second of traffic.
gollark: No, I either use NetworkManager or don't have very complex config anyway.
