The earliest temple in the country to the goddess Matsu is found on Makung. Makung is therefore also known as "Magong Ao" (馬宮澳 or originally, 媽宮澳), or "Matsu Palace Seaport". The first character of the name was changed from "mother" (媽, mā) to "horse" (馬, mǎ) in 1920 under the Japanese Occupation. There had been proposal from the Executive Yuan to revert the character, but there was little support. It contains a domestic Makung Airport. ADMINISTRATION Makung City contains 34 municipal villages (里 ''li''): : ''( Tongyong Pinyin Romanizations are placed before Hanyu Pinyin )''
