Linyuan ( Chinese  林 園區 , Pinyin Línyuán Qū ) is a municipality of Kaohsiung in the Republic of China (Taiwan) .

description

Linyuan is the southernmost district of Kaohsiung and is on the border with neighboring Pingtung County on the cross-strait coast . The border is formed by the Gaoping River , which flows into the Taiwan Strait here. Geologically, the area of ​​Linyuan consists mainly of alluvial land that has been transported by the gaoping. In the West Linyuan borders the district Xiaogang , on the north by the municipality Daliao and the east with the rural municipality Xinyuan in Pingtung County.

history

The Linyuan area has been humanly settled for several thousand years. The archaeological sites of Fengbitou ( 鳳 鼻頭 , Fèngbítóu ) or Zhongkengmen ( 中 坑 門 , Zhōngkēngmén ) in the district of Zhongmen are among the most important sites in southwest Taiwan. Human artifacts such as various stone tools that have been dated to 4400 ~ 6500 years ago have been found here. At the beginning of Taiwan's membership of the Chinese Empire of the Qing Dynasty (from the end of the 17th century) the area of ​​Linbian was known under the name Linzibian ( 林 仔 邊 , Línzǐbiān  - "side of the forest, edge of the forest"). Gradually the region was settled by settlers from southern China. The settlers came mainly from the area of ​​today's Zhangzhou ( Fujian Province ) and brought their customs and religious ideas with them, which are still reflected in Linyuan's temples today. During the time of Japanese rule in Taiwan (1895–1945), a series of administrative reforms came about, which in 1920 led to the formation of today's Linbian. The Japanese administration shortened all place names to two characters and Linzibian became Linbian . However, this gave the same name as a municipality in today's Pingtung County, so that Linbian was renamed Linyuan ("forest garden"), which is pronounced similarly in Japanese. In Japanese times, Linyuan was a 'village' ( 林園 庄 , Línyuán zhuāng ). In 1946, after Taiwan was taken over by the Republic of China , the village became the 'rural community of Linyuan' ( 林園 鄉 , Línyuán xiāng ). This was initially divided into 19 villages ( 村 , Cūn ) and belonged to the newly formed Kaohsiung district . In 1997, the villages of Renai, Wenxian, Guangying, and Wufu were reorganized by separating them from Linyuan, Donglin, Wanggong, and Zizhou. On December 25, 2010, the entire county was incorporated into Kaohsiung City, and all county parishes were given the status of municipalities ( 區 , Qū ).

population

With around 69,600 inhabitants (2020), Linyuan is one of the Kaohsiung districts with a medium to high population. The vast majority of the population are Hoklo . At the end of 2019, 927 members of indigenous peoples lived here (1.3%).
