Yuli ( Chinese 玉里 鎮 , Pinyin Yùlǐ Zhèn ) is a municipality in the district of Hualien in the Republic of China (Taiwan) .

To the east, the valley and the municipality are bounded by the Haian Mountains and to the west by the Taiwanese Central Mountains. The length of the municipality along the valley floor is around 28.8 kilometers and the maximum transverse extent is around 10.4 kilometers.

history
The original inhabitants of the area were members of the Austronesian indigenous peoples of Taiwan . From the second half of the 19th century, the immigration of Han Chinese people began. In 1875, the first year of the Qing Emperor Guangxu's reign , an administrative base was established in Yuli. The city took a major boom after it was connected to the Eastern Railway (today's Taitung Line ) in 1917 during the Japanese rule . After Taiwan came to the Republic of China in 1945 , Yuli was reorganized as a township and divided into 23 districts. In 1971 there was a new division into 15 districts.
