Fangliao Township, Administrative township in Pingtung County, Taiwan.

Fangliao Township spans 58 square kilometers of land in southern Taiwan, incorporating fifteen villages and both agricultural plains and coastal areas.

The area transformed from a village called Pangliau to a Japanese military landing site in 1895, marking a significant shift in Taiwan's territorial control.

The community maintains strong ties to agricultural traditions through annual rice festivals where residents participate in ceremonial activities and celebrations.

Two railway stations, Fangliao and Donghai, connect the township to major cities, while local roads provide access to surrounding agricultural regions.

The township name translates to 'Sandalwood Hut' in English, reflecting the historical presence of this valuable wood in the region.
