It has a population total of 24,882 and an area of 80.4612 square kilometers, including a section of coastline bordering the Taiwan Strait.

History

Owing to the existence of a large lagoon shaped like an elephant's trunk in the area, Kouhu was known as Xiangbihu (Elephant Trunk Lake) in the late Ming and Qing periods.[3]

Kouhu's coastal waters were traditionally used in oyster farming, but in 1991 they were zoned for offshore industrial use.[4]
