Puli (Chinese: 埔里鎮; Hanyu Pinyin: Bùlǐ zhèn; Wade-Giles: Pu-li chen; Taiwanese POJ: Po·-lí tìn) is an urban township in Nantou County, Taiwan. It is the geographic center of Taiwan.
One of the main economic activities in Puli is tourism; this is because it is located in the mountainous center of Taiwan, and many tourist destination spots are located near this township. The most well-known is Sun Moon Lake, only a 30-minute drive from Puli. There is also a nationally owned brewery, as well as the largest Buddhist temple in Nantou County.

Puli (甫里) was the ancient name of the river town Luzhi Township (甪直镇).
Luzhi is located in the Wuzhong District, 18 km east of Suzhou, Jiangsu province, China.
This river town was named after a Tang Dynasty recluse poet Lu Guimong (陆龟蒙) who retired in this town. Lu Guimong had a pseudonym: Mr. Pu-li (甫里先生).
At that time, Puli consisted of two districts: Puli (甫里) and Liuzhi（六直）. Liuzhi meant that there were six straight rivers in the town. In the Suzhou dialect, "liu" was pronounced as "lu", and 六直 pronounced as Luzhi. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Puli was changed to Luzhi township of Yuanhe County.
