Madou District

Madou District covers 53.9 square kilometers of flat terrain in southern Taiwan, comprising 29 villages and 392 neighborhoods along the Zengwun River banks.

In the 17th century, the area known as Mattau contained a settlement of 3,000 inhabitants and represented one of four primary Sirayan villages during Taiwan's colonial period.

The district sustains traditional farming practices, with farmers managing sweet potatoes, sugarcane, and rice fields while operating direct-to-consumer pomelo warehouses throughout the region.

Transportation infrastructure includes the Jhongshan Freeway with dedicated Madou interchange, connecting the district to multiple expressways and provincial highways across Taiwan.

The district produces Taiwan's largest quantity of Wundan Pomelos, with spring blooms and autumn harvests creating seasonal agricultural events for the 47,210 residents.
