Class and work suspended in Shiwen Village, Chunri Township, Pingtung County

Sep 01, 2026

Authorities have called off work and school for Tuesday in Shiwen Village, a small mountain community in southern Taiwan's Pingtung County, a precaution that protects residents but disrupts daily routines.

  • Shiwen Village in Chunri Township will shut down work and classes for the day.
  • The order covers only that village, not the wider township or county.
  • Announcements like this in Pingtung's mountain areas normally follow heavy rain and the risk of landslides or blocked roads.
  • Residents in remote hillside villages are the most exposed when access roads wash out.

Outlook: Normal schedules should return once the weather clears and roads are checked, with more village-level closures possible if rain keeps up.
