It is bordered by Changhua City to the east and Lugang Township to the west, with a total area of about 39.9 square kilometers and a population of about 88,000 people.

Hemei Township is located in the coastal plain of western Taiwan, with a subtropical climate and an average annual temperature of about 23℃. The name of the area originates from the "Hemei Line" reclamation area set up by the early immigrants from Zhangzhou, Fujian, which means "living in harmony and good life". In addition to the textile industry, the town has developed a wide range of industries such as hardware and machinery, and has retained a large number of traditional buildings and folk activities in southern Fujian, such as the Mazu Birthday Celebration held on the 23rd day of the third month of the lunar calendar every year.
There are many primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in the town. Public facilities include the town library, sports parks, etc., so life functions are sound. In recent years, the town has actively promoted the development of tourism, combining traditional craft experiences with eco-tourism, and has become one of the important cultural and leisure destinations in Changhua.
