Cigu District

Located on the westernmost point of Taiwan, Cigu District encompasses an area of coastal landscapes with fisheries, tidal shores, and ecological conservation zones.

Seven settlers from Fujian established the first fish farm in this region approximately 360 years ago when the area remained largely uninhabited.

The district maintains multiple fishing communities across its 23 villages, where residents continue traditional aquaculture practices and salt production methods.

The Cigu District Office provides administrative services at Number 377 Dacheng, with telephone contact available at 886-6-7872611 during weekday business hours.

The district contains the Cigu Lagoon, which serves as a critical winter habitat for endangered black-faced spoonbills migrating between September and April.
