Douliou City

Douliu City is the administrative center of Yunlin County, organized across multiple districts and neighborhoods. The urban area combines residential, commercial, and institutional zones that support the functions of a county seat.

The city was established in 1901 during Japanese administration under a different name and gradually grew into a regional center. In 1981, it was upgraded to county-administered city status, marking an important shift in its administrative role.

The city serves as an educational and medical hub for the region, with hospitals and schools that shape daily community life. Walking through town, you notice these institutions are central to how people organize their routines and gather.

The city can be reached by train stations and major highways that connect to other parts of Taiwan. Plan to spend several hours exploring different areas and the administrative center on foot or by local transport.

The city center features a fountain with water displays timed to music during evening hours, serving as a popular gathering spot for residents. This feature creates a lively focal point that draws people together, particularly as darkness falls.
