Jiuru Township is located in the northwestern part of Pingtung County, Taiwan Province of China, in the alluvial plain on the west side of Gaoping Creek, which is a typical agricultural township. The township covers an area of about 42 square kilometers and has a population of about 23,000, with a predominantly southern Fujianese population. The name of the township originated from "Nine Block Alley" Zhuang in the Qing Dynasty, and was renamed Jiuru Township in 1946.
Jiuru Township has flat terrain and abundant water resources, and its main agricultural products include lemons, bananas, lotus flowers, and other cash crops, with lemon production ranking among the highest in Taiwan, earning it the reputation as the "Township of Lemons". The first lemon themed sightseeing factory was built in the township, which promotes the development of agricultural leisure tourism.
In terms of transportation, the township is close to Provincial Highway No. 3 and National Highway No. 3 Jiuru Interchange, and is about a 15-minute drive from downtown Pingtung. Important cultural assets include the Sanshan King's Temple, Jiuru Catholic Church and other historical buildings. Folk events such as the Lemon Festival and the Harvest Festival are held every year, demonstrating the integration of multiple cultures.
