Zhongpu Township

Zhongpu Township is an administrative township in Chiayi County containing 22 villages spread across local roads and rural areas. The region combines agricultural land with residential communities connected through a network of local pathways.

The township formed through administrative reorganizations after 1949, when Taiwan established its current local government structure. Since then, the area has maintained elected leadership and local autonomy that shaped its development.

The township is known for its fruit farming, especially papayas, pineapples, and bananas that shape the landscape. Visitors see plantations and farms everywhere, which define daily life and the local economy.

The best time to visit is during harvest season when plantations are active and the area feels lively. Getting around relies on local roads, though some routes are rural and less developed than in urban centers.

The region grows a wide range of fruits, including tangerines that are less known than the dominant papayas and pineapples. This diversity makes farming here more resilient to market shifts.
