Liujiao Township, Administrative township in Chiayi County, Taiwan.
Liujiao Township is an administrative division spanning flat land in northwest Chiayi County, Taiwan, combining residential and agricultural zones. The area is connected by multiple roads that link it to surrounding urban centers and other townships.
The township administration was established in 1946 when the area was part of Tainan County, before being transferred to Chiayi County a few years later. This administrative shift reflected broader reorganizations of county boundaries during Taiwan's early years.
Local monuments and parks throughout the township reflect the traditions that have shaped daily life here over generations. These spaces show how the community has valued and remembered its past.
The township is accessible through several road routes, with the Beigang Tourist Bridge providing a main entry point for visitors. Since the area is largely residential and agricultural, planning which specific sites to visit beforehand makes the trip easier.
A notable figure from this township was Liao Cheng-hao, who served as Minister of Justice in the mid-1990s. His rise from this agricultural region to high national office reflects the community's contribution to Taiwan's leadership.
