Linyuan District

Linyuan District is an administrative area in southwestern Kaohsiung that combines urban residential zones with farming regions. The district spans multiple neighborhoods with different characteristics, mixing built-up areas and open agricultural spaces.

The area started as a rural township and became an official district after a regional reorganization in 2010. This change marked its shift from county administration to becoming part of the expanded Kaohsiung City.

Religious temples in the area serve as gathering places where residents celebrate festivals and observe traditions together. These spaces remain active centers for local spiritual practices and community events.

The district is easy to navigate through with roads and public buses that link to central Kaohsiung. Most areas are accessible by bus, and cycling paths exist in some neighborhoods.

Archaeological findings at the Fengbitou site show that people lived in this area during prehistoric times. This makes the district a location of historical importance for understanding early human settlement in the region.
