Lamtaau (laam+taau; 南投; Nantou)
- Nantou is the second largest county of Taiwan. It is also the only county which does not share a border with the ocean. Its name derives from the Hoanya Taiwanese aboriginal word Ramtau. Nantou County is officially administered as a county of Taiwan.
- Nantou city lies between the Bagua Mountains and the Maoluo River and is the capital of Nantou County. Freeway No. 3 serves Nantou City. Its name is a transliteration of the Hoanya word Ramtau with the characters chosen to complement Paktaau (北投), a district in Taipei, even though there is no relation between the aboriginal words.
