Wenshui River

Wenshui River（Traditional Chinese：汶水溪）, located in Miaoli County,^[1] Taiwan,^[2] is a central government-managed river^[3] and the upper stream of the main stream of the Houlong River.^[4] Its basin spans Tai'an Township,^[5] Shitan Township,^[6] and Dahu Township.^[7]

The river originates in the southwestern valley of Luchang Dashan^[8] at an altitude of 2,618 meters^[9] in Meiyuan Village,^[10] Tai'an Township. It initially flows southwest, then, after converging with the Dongxishui River,^[11] a tributary originating from Dongxishui Mountain,^[12] it turns west. It flows through Shangdao,^[13] Hushan,^[14] and Baguali,^[15] then turns southwest at the Bagua'kou area,^[16] forming a semi-circular arc opening to the north as it flows through Qing'an ^[17](the location of the Tai'an Township Office) and Paoshi. After converging with the Dahu River from the south at Wenshui,^[18] it is renamed the Houlong River.
