Pingtung Plain

The Pingtung Plain extends 60 kilometers from north to south and 20 kilometers from east to west, with elevations consistently below 100 meters.

Han Chinese settlers from Fujian established the first agricultural communities in 1684, transforming the Pingtung Plain into cultivated land by 1734.

The plain supports multiple indigenous tribes, including Rukai and Paiwan communities, who maintain their traditional practices alongside modern agricultural activities.

The region contains six major groundwater monitoring stations across different zones, providing essential data for water resource management in southern Taiwan.

The plain features the largest drainage system in Taiwan through the Kaoping River, with additional waterways including Tungkang, Linbian, and Shihwen rivers.
