As the government of Taiwan has been in the process of implementing a national-level revitalisation project along Provincial Highway 3, many local communities have been activated in recent years. History, culture, and industry have all come together at a number of stops along the highway, and Hakka communities have prospered as a result.
There is an extraordinary diversity to the ways of life, cultures, and histories of different Taiwanese Hakka people. For those who live in the Taoyuan districts of Xinwu, Yangmei, Pingzhen, Longtan, Zhongli, Guanyin, Dayuan, and Daxi, Highway 3 is a key asset in the diverse cultural landscape. A north–south highway that features scenic mountain views and extends from Taipei to Pingtung, Highway 3 provides access to many Hakka communities, especially the 850,000 Taiwanese Hakka spread throughout the mountainous, coastal, and urban areas of Taoyuan.
