Houlong Township, Urban township in Miaoli County, Taiwan

Located at an elevation of 27 meters, Houlong extends across 75 square kilometers of land bordered by the Taiwan Strait and Zaoqiao Township.

The name derives from a Taiwanese Plains Aborigines settlement, known as Aulangsia during the Kingdom of Tungning before becoming Kōryū Village in 1920.

The township maintains 23 distinct villages, each with its own community identity and local traditions, including Nanlong, Zhonglong, and Beilong Villages.

The Miaoli High-Speed Rail station and four Taiwan Railways stations provide multiple transportation options for residents and visitors throughout the township.

The township contains numerous geological formations including the Guogang Shell Fossils and the Xihu Wetland, offering natural research opportunities.
