Yunlin County
Yunlin County is located in western Taiwan and is bordered by the Taiwan Strait to the west, Nantou County to the east, Changhua County to the north (at the Zhuoshui River), and Chiayi County to the south (at the Beigang River). As of 2022, the county has a population of 664,963. Known for its agricultural significance, Yunlin is part of the Chianan Plain, a fertile region that produces crops such as pomelo, tea leaves, suan cai, papaya, and melon. The county's rivers also provide potential for hydroelectric power.
Douliu is the capital and largest city in Yunlin, making it the administrative center of the region. Interestingly, Yunlin is the only county on Taiwan’s main island that does not have a city with the same name. Despite its agricultural richness, Yunlin is one of the least developed counties along Taiwan's west coast, facing challenges such as emigration due to limited economic opportunities.
