Township (Taiwan)

Along with County-controlled city, the Townships of Taiwan are the administrative subdivisions of Republic of China (Taiwan) counties. Taiwanese townships can be further classified into urban townships (鎮) and rural townships (鄉). Local laws do not enforce strict standards for classifying urban and rural townships; the decision was mainly made by Japanese during the Taiwan under Japanese rule era and followed by the Kuomintang government after 1945. Generally urban township has a larger population and more business and industry than rural township, but not to the extent of County-controlled city.

Taiwan Province's 16 counties has a total of 298 townships. The two counties of Fujian Province, Republic of China has a total of 10 townships. Penghu County and Lienchiang County are the only two counties that do not have urban townships.
