CHUNGLI INFORMATION
Welcome to Chungli, Over one century ago, Jungli was originally Pingpu aborigines' village. This place was deserted and desolate and full of thorns. Until the Chienlung period of Ching Dynasty, Changchou people of Fuchien Province first crossed the sea to cultivate here. Later, people came from Fuchien, Kuangtung of the Mainland and the Hakka people followed. All these people made every effort to develop agriculture here and opened for themselves a whole new world. The original name of Jungli was Jientzuli. In the 50s of Jienlung period of Ching Dynasty, the Ching government established Hsien at Tanshuei and Hsinchu. Chientzuli was located between the two Hsiens, that's how it got this name. Eighteen years before the establishment of the ROC (1894), after the Sino-Japanese Chiawu War Taiwan was ceded to Japan. Jungli was then ruled by Taipei Hsien and Jungli Administration Office was established.
