context_page_description: The Chihshang fault is an active reverse fault system located in the center of the Longitudinal Valley, and is a segment of the Longitudinal Valley Fault. The Chihshang fault is aligned from north-northeast to south-southwest, sitting between the Central Mountain Range and the Hai’an Range. It lies within the active major collision zone between the Philippine Plate and Eurasian plate. The Chihshang fault extends for about 35 km, from Yuli at the north to Kuanshan at the south. The Chihshang fault remains active. It is thought to be actively creeping as it keeps creating cracks and fractures in walls and buildings. The Chihshang fault has a rapid surface slip which is about 2–3 cm/year, and a 4 cm/year creep rate at the dip-slip direction approximately.
