Jiji, Nantou

Jiji (Chinese: 集集; pinyin: Jíjí; Wade–Giles: Chi2-chi2; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chi̍p-chi̍p) or Chichi is an urban township located in the west central portion of Nantou County, Taiwan.

[citation needed] During the Japanese era (1895–1945), Jiji was a collection and shipping export point for camphor produced in the surrounding areas.

[3][citation needed] During World War II, a U.S. bomber was shot down by Japanese artillery, killing four airmen.

[5] Jiji is bordered by Zhongliao to the north, Mingjian to the west, Zhushan and Lugu to the south, and Shuili to the east.

The 2014 mayoral election was won by 29-year-old Chen Chi-heng of the newly formed Trees Party, in what was characterized by the media as a surprise.
