It’s one of the most scenic and thinly populated parts of Kaohsiung.The number of humans living here has steadily declined since the 1980s. With barely 12,500 adults and children spread over 194 square kilometers, Liouguei’s residents enjoy more space per person than folks in Hualien County.Liouguei is dominated by the Laonong River (zh 荖濃溪), a major tributary of the Kaoping River (zh 高屏溪).

Three are part of the provincial highway network; the fourth belongs to Kaohsiung Local Road 131. https://web.archive.org/web/20250728013207/https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/archives/2020/06/12/2003738072 28 July 2025
