The neighboring communities in Pingtung County are Gaoshu in the east, Yanpu in the southeast, and Jiuru in the southwest. To the west and north, Ligang borders the districts of Qishan (to the west / northwest) and Meinong (to the northeast) of Kaohsiung. The municipal area of Ligangs has an approximately rectangular shape with the edge lengths 11 km × 8.5 km (west-east × north-south).

After the confluence, the river is named Gaoping . Further downstream, the small river / stream Qishan ( 旗山溪 , Qíshān Xī , alternatively: Nanzixian , 楠梓仙溪 , Nánzǐxian Xī ), which essentially forms the western boundary of Ligang, flows into the merged river. The climate of Ligang corresponds to a tropical monsoon climate .
