Yuanlin, Changhua

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yuanlin (員林) is an urban township in central Changhua County, Taiwan Province of the Republic of China. Yuanlin has been assarted since the time of Yong-Zheng of the Ching Dynasty(1723-1735). It was well-developed about the 16th year of Qian-Long. People in the early periods cut down the forest around Yuanlin to build their house. Gradually, the round woodland was left; therefore, it was named 圓林(Yuanlin), which means the round woodland. Afterwards, it was changed to 員林(Yuanlin). Yuanlin produces different kinds of fruits, and succade is one of its specialty goods.
