Dali District

Dali (Chinese大里 区, pinyin Dàlǐ Qū, W.-G. Ta -li Chu ) is a district of Taichung city government immediate west of the Republic of China on Taiwan.

Dali is located immediately south of the central city of Taichung in the southeast of the Taichung Basin along the river Dali. To the east of the otherwise flat district, there are some hills.

In the Qing Dynasty Dali was a center of Chinese immigrants and was one of the largest cities in the region. Later, the city benefited primarily from the proximity to the metropolitan Taichung. From 1993 to 2010 Dali had the status of a city (市, Shì ) in Taichung County. On 25 December 2010, the entire county, whose largest city was Dali, incorporated in the central city of Taichung. Since then, Dali has the status of a city district.
