Jiji Township, Railway township in Nantou County, Taiwan
Jiji Township extends over 50 square kilometers in the west central portion of Nantou County, featuring mountains and the Zhuoshui River along its borders.
The settlement began in 1771 when Han Chinese from Zhangzhou arrived, naming it after 'Chiv-Chiv' from a Formosan language, later becoming a camphor export point.
This small township contains eleven distinct villages, each contributing to local traditions through agricultural practices, particularly in banana cultivation and production.
Visitors can reach Jiji through the dedicated railway line, with stations at both Jiji and Longquan providing regular connections to major Taiwanese cities.
The township earned recognition as one of Taiwan's Top 10 Small Tourist Towns in 2012, featuring the Taiwan Water Museum and Mingxin Academy among its attractions.
