With its high mountains, Pacific view and unique cultural environment, Taiwan's East Coast is quite unlike the west.
At the heart of the Eastern Rift Valley lies the small town of Yuli, formerly Pu-shi-ge, an important community at the junction of Hualien and Taitung counties.
Famous for sweets and tourism, Yuli has Taiwan's only integrated psychiatric teaching hospital and community general hospital the Yu-Li Veterans Hospital.
Its transition from neglected asylum to internationally-acclaimed medical establishment is truly a miracle.
