About Jhudong Township Office

 Jhudong used to be named Chess Forest and Tree Qi tree, for there was a forest of oaks when the ancestors came to reclaim the wasteland here and the oak tree was also named Tree Qi tree (this was due to the fact that when a branch of Tree Qi treecomes off the root, the end looks like a piece of Chinese chess). In 1920 (the nineth year of Japanese Dazheng Period) it was re-named as Jhudong as it is located to the east of Hsinchu County. In 1950 when there was a great adjustment in the whole province, the region here was placed under the jurisdiction of Hsinchu County and then named Jhudong Town.
Jhudong Town is at communication center of Hsinchu County. It is just like a carp striving to swim upstream similar to the indomitable will of Hakka people. The town strenches from the north-west to the south-east in a narrow strip with a large area of hills and a small piece of flat land. It looks over to Jhubei City and Hsiungling Township at the Touchienhsi and Touzipu in the north and is border with Hengshan Township at Pinghsi in the east,and is adjacent to Beipu Township and Baoshan Township at the Tuopeng Mountain and Five-finger Mountain in the south. Wufong Township is to its southeast and with the Kezi Lake as the borderline with Hsinchu City in the west. It is 19 kilometers from the east to west and 4 kilometers from north to south , and covers an area of 53.5132 square kilometers.
