Chaojhou Township, Urban township in western Pingtung County, Taiwan.

Chaozhou Township extends across 42 square kilometers of land in the Pingtung Plain, incorporating 21 villages with a population of 53,338 inhabitants.

The settlement received its name from Chinese immigrants who arrived from Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, establishing their first community in this region during 1724.

The local population primarily communicates in Taiwanese Hokkien, while the original Chaoshan dialect has diminished through generations of cultural integration.

The township connects to major transportation networks through Chaozhou Station on the Taiwan Railways Administration Pingtung Line and provides access to National Freeway 3.

The Museum of Traditional Theater and Bada Forest Paradise stand among the principal attractions, offering visitors cultural and natural experiences in the region.
