Jiali District Office, Tainan City

Jiahua, Xinghua and Lihua Villages are together called Jiali Xing, which was called Tienn-Hseng County during the Ming Zheng Period. In 1685, The government set up one capital district here. Besides, there were another 3 counties and Zhuluo County are situated in this area as well. The meaning of Jiali Xing may be a wonderful village with solemnity, so the word “Jia” was chosen from Jiali Xing along with Hua to become the name of the village. Jiahau Village is situated on the Northeast edge of Jiali District, having Matou to its east and north, Min'an and Sanxie Villages to its south and Yingding, Lihua and Xinghua Villages to the west, with one tribe called Tou Cian Hsu.

In terms of agricultural products, we have both Cherry Farm for visitors to pick cherries, and black fungus in the village. In this region, we have one educational institute called Jaixing Elementary School and the temples like Dong Chy Temple for people to visit.

Established in 1916, at that time, it was the Jialixing branch of Matou Public School, and it enrolled students next to the Jiafu Temple in the Yingding Village, with two classes. In 1918, the school moved to Jiahua Village and became the Jialixing Public School and changed it names to Jialixing Junior High School in 1941, with Rei Su as its first school principle.
