Wufeng District
Wufeng District is a suburban district in southern Taichung, Taiwan. It is the location of Taiwan Provincial Consultative Council.
Wufeng is a mainly agricultural town. It was heavily damaged by the Jiji earthquake on 21 September 1999, which caused around 100 deaths in the town. The 921 Earthquake Museum of Taiwan, which commemorates the giant quake, is built at what was formerly Guangfu Junior High School, which was destroyed when part of the school was uplifted by the Chelungpu Fault during the quake.
The two major geographical features of this town are the Wu Xi, which forms the town's southern border, and Xiangbi Shan, which lies in the eastern part of the township.
