brief introduction

The town is located in the southern end of Pingtung plain. Donggang river goes out to sea from the junction of Benxiang and Xinyuan township. The flat terrain and the coastal area make it mainly engaged in fishery and agriculture. However, due to the low terrain and poor drainage, the town is vulnerable to floods and sea water irrigation. The climate is tropical monsoon. In recent years, due to the soaring price of bluefin tuna and the establishment of Mirs Bay National Scenic Spot, the tourism industry of the town has been booming.

Donggang Town, located at the mouth of Donggang River, was already a prosperous port in the Qing Dynasty and one of the three excellent ports in Taiwan. There are two theories about the origin of Donggang: first, it is named after its relative position with Xigang (today's Qijin District of Kaohsiung City) and Zhonggang (today's Linyuan District of Kaohsiung City); second, it is considered to be located to the east of Gaoping River, so it is called "Donggang".

In 1920, Taiwan's local government restructured and set up "Donggang Street" here, which was under the jurisdiction of Donggang County, Kaohsiung Prefecture. Donggang Town of Kaohsiung County was set up in the early postwar period, and was transferred to Pingtung County in 1950.

It is located at 120 degrees 26 minutes 51 seconds east longitude, 22 degrees 28 minutes 4 seconds north latitude, adjacent to Nanzhou Township in the East, Taiwan Strait in the west, Xinyuan Township, Guding Township in the north, and linbian Township in the south. The town covers an area of 294635 square kilometers. Due to its plain terrain and coastal relationship, it is suitable for farming, aquaculture and fishing. However, due to the low topography and poor drainage in the area, the town is vulnerable to floods and tides.

In terms of buses, there are Zhongnan passenger transport and Taiqi passenger transport, which run every 5-10 minutes. In addition, Pingtung passenger transport is jointly operated with Pingtung and Kaohsiung buses, which run from Donggang to Hengchun. The transportation is still convenient.
