Jhongli City

Jhongli, also spelled Chungli (zh-tshtw|t=中壢市|s=中坜市|hp= Zhōnglì Shì|tp= jhōnglì Shìh|w= Chung-li shih; Taiwanese POJ: Tiong-le̍k-chhī; Jhuyin Fuhao: ㄓㄨㄥ ㄌ一ˋ ㄕˋ), is a city in Taoyuan County of Taiwan Province, the Republic of China. It became a city before Taoyuan City. Historically, the city is the stage of the Chung-li incident ( [http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%B8%AD%E5%A3%A2%E4%BA%8B%E4%BB%B6 中壢事件] ) of 1977, the most significant event of the democratization movements of Taiwan prior to the 1980s. Ethnically, it is considered a kind of capital city for the Hakka people who live in great numbers here and in surrounding areas. In recent years a large number of foreign workers (mainly from the Philippines and Thailand) have also settled in and around the city, making it a center for foreign laborers.

Transportation

Jhongli is served by both National Highway No. 1 and Provincial Highway No. 66. The nationally owned e-go highway buses, near the Jhongli Train Station, are an inexpensive means of transport to other cities. In addition, the [http://service.tra.gov.tw/en/CP/11434/Jhongli.aspx Jhongli TRA Train Station] provides fast connections to other Taiwanese cities. As of 2007, Jhongli also has its own Taiwan High Speed Rail terminal.
