Jiali District

Jiali District is an administrative area in northern Tainan featuring residential neighborhoods, schools, and traditional markets. The region functions as a local hub for community services and commerce.

The area was originally known as Soulang and served as a significant trading and administrative point since the 17th century. It developed from an early settlement into an established community with structured governance.

The Soulangh Cultural Park preserves local heritage through exhibitions in two temples, where ceramic artworks and traditional craftsmanship techniques are displayed. Visitors can observe how these ancient artistic traditions remain part of everyday cultural life today.

The District Office is open on weekdays from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM, offering local services to residents. Plan your visit during these hours if you need to handle administrative matters.

The name Soulangh comes from the Pingpu language and means "the land with a contract," reflecting early trading arrangements and settlement patterns. This reveals how early negotiations between groups shaped the place's identity.
