About Kao-Hsiung

From left to right, Kao (high), Hsiung (a hero) and then county. This is a big county in the south. Kaohsiung City was upgraded to become equal with Taipei City, administered directly by Executive Yuan instead of the Taiwan Provincial Government. But Kaohsiung County remains a county administered by the Taiwan Provisional Government.
Michael Wang, 9 May 1997

Kaohsiung County was merged to Kaohsiung City on 25 Dec 2010.
