Huatan Township Frequently Asked Questions and Useful Information for Travel

What is the origin of the name Huatan Township?

The name Huatan Township originates from its former local name, 'Jiadongjiao'. During the Japanese colonial era, the Japanese pronunciation of 'Jiadongjiao' sounded similar to 'inferior guests,' which was considered impolite. Furthermore, the Taiwanese Hokkien pronunciation of 'Jiadong' was close to the Japanese word 'Kadan' (meaning flower bed or garden). Therefore, in the ninth year of the Republic of China (1920), it was renamed 'Huatan' and has been used ever since. Although Huatan Township is the largest jasmine producing area in Taiwan, and many believe the place name is related to this, in reality, the name was changed to avoid an impolite Japanese pronunciation, not because it was named for its abundant fragrant flowers.
