Zhongli City
Traditional Chinese 中壢
Simplified Chinese 中坜市

Zhongli City (also Jhongli or Jungli), formerly Chungli (and spelled Tionglek or Tiongliek in the 19th century), is a city in Taoyuan County of Taiwan, Republic of China. It became a city before Taoyuan City, the county seat of Taoyuan County. Historically, the city is the stage of the Zhongli Incident (中壢事件) of 1977, the most significant event of the democratization movements of Taiwan prior to the 1980s. Ethnically, it is considered a kind of capital city for the Hakka people who live in great numbers here and in surrounding areas. In recent years a large number of foreign workers (mainly from the Philippines and Thailand) have also settled in and around the city, making it a center for foreign laborers.

History

Zhongli City Health Department.

In the 19th century, the area was home to Pingpu aborigines. During the Qing Dynasty, immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong Provinces arrived along with the Hakka.[1] The original name of the area was "Chientzuli" (澗仔壢) due to its location between Tamsui and Hsinchu.

Transportation

Zhongli is served by both National Highway No. 1 and Provincial Highway No. 66. The nationally owned e-go highway buses, near the Zhongli Station, are an inexpensive means of transport to other cities. In addition, the Taiwan Railway Administration Zhongli Station provides conventional train connections to other Taiwanese cities. Zhongli also has its own Taiwan High Speed Rail station at THSR Taoyuan Station.
