Dur ing the Qing per iod , Lugang in Changhua grew to

become the main city in central Taiwan, leading to the saying: “first Tainan, second Lugang, third Taipei’s Mengjia (Wanhua) district.” Changhua was settled largely by immigrants from the Chinese provinces of Fujian and Guangdong. These settlers brought with them their unique customs and culture, evident today in the many colorful historic sites found throughout the county. These includes Changhua’s landmark Baguashan Great Buddha; Longshan Temple, a national historic site known as “Taiwan’s Forbidden City”; and Tianhou Temple, a county historic site dedicated to Meizhou’s Mazu.

Yunl in generates more revenue from agriculture than any other county. Seasonal harvest schedule includes rice and soy bean sauce from Xiluo; pomelos from Douliu; peanuts from Beigang; coffee from Gukeng , and more from farmsthroughout the county. Yunlin’ssimilarly advanced aquaculture industry raises significant quantities of grouper, milkfish, mullet roe, geloina (horseshoe) clam, and tilapia. In addition, Yunlin also has the highest concentration oftemples on the island; among all, the 290-year-old Beigang Chaotian Temple, built in the Qing Dynasty, has been the most renowned one.

Tainan remained the political, economic and cultural center of Taiwan up to the late nineteenth century. As a result, Tainan is home to many famous historic sites.

Kaohsiung CityA thriving international metropolis at the southern tip of Taiwan, Kaohsiung was the host city for the 2009 World Games. Due to the regulating effects of the marine climate, Kaohsiung is generally sunny and enjoys pleasant weather year-round, and earns the name of “Taiwan’s Maritime Capital.”

Pingtung CountyTaiwan’s southernmost county, Pingtung covers a long territory with a border defined by mountains to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Taiwan Strait to the west, and the Bashi Channel to the south. Due to its subtropical location, Pingtung enjoys springlike weather all year round. Graceful coconut trees add to the county’s ample South Pacif ic charms.
