Xiluo

Taiwan

Xiluo Township, also written Siluo Township, is an urban township in Yunlin County, Taiwan. It lies in the western part of the county, in the broad alluvial plain of central-western Taiwan.

Xiluo is best known for the Xiluo Bridge, a long road bridge spanning the Zhuoshui River and linking the township with Changhua County to the north. Completed in the 1950s, it was for a time the longest bridge in Taiwan and remains a local landmark. The township is also associated with Xiluo pomelo, a variety of citrus grown in the surrounding farmland.

Its economy has traditionally rested on agriculture, with rice and fruit among the main crops, and the township serves as a small service and market centre for the surrounding rural area.
