Both the "provincial cities" and "counties" in Taiwan Province Province are under the jurisdiction of the Taiwanese provincial government, while Taichung is a provincial city, and its status is the same as that of Taichung County. It is a county-level unit and does not belong to each other.

Taichung City and Taichung County are located in the middle of Taiwan Province Province, and Taichung City is surrounded by Taichung County. Viewed from the whole region, Taichung is the economic and political center of central Taiwan Province Province, and there are many satellite towns and counties in Taichung, which can be said to be a suburb of Taichung. These two counties and cities are interdependent and closely related.

As of September 2005, the population of Taichung City was 6.5438+0.03 million, and that of Taichung County was 6.5438+0.53 million. Recently, there is a great call for the merger of counties and cities in Taichung, which is expected to become the third municipality directly under the Central Government of Taiwan Province Province after Taipei and Kaohsiung.
