Wuqi District is a plain situated between the Dajia and Dadut rivers, with Qingshui District to the north, Shalu District to the east, Longjing District to the south, and the Taiwan Strait to the west. The current coastline is formed by Taichung Port, and as a coastal town, its history is closely tied to the prosperity of the harbor. Formerly known as Bamboo Raft Cave and Wuqi Port, Wuqi is located to the west of Qingshui Mountain, in Qingshui District, and is also referred to as Aoxin. According to regional scholars, the Chinese Phoenix does not live without the Phoenix Tree, nor consume without holy spring water and bamboo, which led to the name Wuqi. When visiting Wuqi and speaking with locals, visitors can hear its Taiwanese pronunciation, which is similar to Wuqi. After the merger of Taichung County and City into a single municipality on December 25, 2010, Wuqi Town was reorganized into Wuqi District. Although the administrative area is not extensive, it possesses significant cultural tourism potential due to its abundant cultural properties, including municipal historic sites, historic buildings, and municipal folk culture.
