Meinong District, Hakka cultural district in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

Meinong District spans 120 square kilometers in northeastern Kaohsiung, with mountains on its northern and eastern sides and Laonong Creek flowing through the south.

The district transformed from a Japanese-era township to an administrative division of Kaohsiung City in 2010, following the merger of Kaohsiung County with the city.

The district maintains 19 urban villages where residents speak Hakka dialects, create oil paper umbrellas, and celebrate their heritage through local festivals.

Visitors can reach Meinong through regular bus services from central Kaohsiung, with the journey taking approximately one hour through the Pingtung Plain.

The agricultural region contains 4,000 hectares of premium farmland, earning recognition as the Barn of Southern Taiwan and a center for tobacco cultivation.
