Xin Jiayang

Xin Jiayang is located 5 km northeast of Deji Reservoir in Heping District, Taichung City. After the completion of the reservoir project, the rising water level flooded the original Jiayang Hamlet. Therefore, a new settlement was formed. In the post-war period, the Nationalist Government prepared for the construction of the Central Cross-Island Highway. The Executive Yuan, the Taiwan Provincial Government, the Taichung County Government, the Taiwan Electric Power Company and other units set up a special team to be responsible for the drafting, review and implementation of Xin Jiayang Village construction plan. The construction was completed in 1968 with indigenous residential houses, unit staff dormitories and public facilities.
