Miaoli is contiguous with Hsinchu county and Hsinchu City to the north, Taichung City to the south, and borders the Taiwan Strait to the west. The Council for Economic Planning and Development of Taiwan classifies Miaoli as a county of Central Taiwan, while the Taiwan Central Weather Bureau classifies Miaoli as a county of the North. Miaoli City is the capital of the county, and is also known as "Mountain Town", owing to the number of mountains nearby, making it a destination for hiking. ==Name== The name Miaoli was coined using two Hakka Chinese words, 貓 ('cat') and 狸 ('raccoon dog'), which phonetically approximate ''Pali'' (''Bari'') from the Taokas language. The word 貓狸 is a widespread but non-orthodox variant referring to Viverridae. In 1889, the name was modified from variants 貓裏, 貓裡, 貓里, to the more elegant 苗栗, which is used today. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miaoli County」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
