Chauchou History
Chauchou is a historical town located in the plain between Mt. Dawu and the Taiwan Strait. In the early period, immigrants from mainland China named this place Chauchou for remembering their hometown. During the Japanese colonial period, from 1895 to 1945, Japanese set up schools and constructed railways in Chauchou, so this place became more prosperous.
Multiculture
Now it’s a dwelling place for many races, such as Taiwanese, the Hakka, aboriginals and immigrants from China and other countries. So foods here are quite diverse, and even some of them, like hot-and-cold ice and fried rise noodles, are very well- known in our country. And local traditional arts, like Taiwanese opera, hand puppet show and shadow play, are treasured very much here.
