This county of passionate peoples located on the southernmost tip of Taiwan, enjoys a variety of natural resources: year-round mild sunshine, clear blue skies, a vast ocean, lush mountains and murmuring streams. Different ethnic groups - the Holo, Hakka, Paiwan, and Lukai live in peace and amidst rich cultural diversity. Their unique handicrafts and customs attract waves of tourists. A fertile land that yields delicious products from both land and sea, Pingtung's abundant seafood satisfy the taste buds of the most demanding gourmets. We have organized unique festivals throughout four seasons to integrate our local culture with tourism. The appetizing bluefin tuna is the protagonistin the "Pingtung Bluefin Tuna Cultural Festival" in spring. In summer, tourists can enjoy themselves with the games in the "Pingtung International Folklore and Folkgame Exposition." If you like to create your own artistic masterpieces, do not hesitate to join the "Pingtung Peninsula Handicrafts Festival." In winter, you can listen to the music produced by mountain winds and harnessed during the "Pingtung Windbell Festival." These four seasonal festivals typically stand for the County Government's determination to put together our natural endowments with our cultural heritage in strong strategic alliances targeted at increasing tourism. The enhancement of the Tapeng Bay National Scenic Area and Maulin Scenic Area is meant to raise Pingtung tourism to international standards. Our uninterrupted supply of water and energy, solid ecological systems and simple yet diligent residents guarantee technological growth. The Agriculture and BioTech Park is not only poised to progress breeding technology for the agri and aquaculture industries, but also build an overall biotechnological know-how. Helping shed our old image of an agricultural county, the Pingtung Processing Zone promises low pollution, low consumption, high value added processes that will create more jobs to boost the economy. A comprehensive transportation network plays an important role in tourism and technology. We estimate that our urban planning will lead to big-scale improvements in our land, ocean and air spaces within two to three years. Basing our plans on the principles of sustainable development and respect for Mother Nature, the county government wants to assemble a mutually supportive system that integrates education, culture, environmental protection, medical services and social welfare. Our government aims to increase niches for tourism and technology as well as raise the quality of living in Pingtung. Pingtung County Government pledges to maximize our competitive advantages through strategic alliances and regional collaboration to build a brighter future for all.
