Townships[1] are the third-level administrative subdivisions of counties of the Republic of China (Taiwan), along with county-administered cities.[2] After World War II, the townships were established from the following conversions on the Japanese administrative divisions:
Although local laws do not enforce strict standards for classifying them, generally urban townships have a larger population and more business and industry than rural townships, but not to the extent of county-administered cities. Under townships, there is also the village as the base/fourth level of administration.
As of 2022, there are in all 184 townships, including 38 urban townships, 122 rural townships and 24 mountain indigenous townships. 174 townships with 35 urban and 115 rural townships are located in Taiwan Province and 10 townships with 3 urban and 7 rural townships are located in Fujian Province. Penghu and Lienchiang are the only two counties that do not have urban townships.

Township names are now transliterated using the Hanyu Pinyin romanization system without tone marks. The county names do not necessarily use Hanyu Pinyin or special case such as Lukang.[3]
Colors indicate the common language status of Formosan languages, Hakka or Matsu dialect within each division.
