Treasure trove for field research: Puli is located right where the western slopes of the Central Mountain Range abut the western plains. It is a basin surrounded by mountains on all sides. In the winter they block the northeast winds from off of the sea; in the summer they weaken the force of incoming typhoons. Thus the area is pleasant all year round.
