Meinong District (WG: Meinung, Hakka: 瀰濃 Minung, Chinese: 美濃區; pinyin: Měinóng Qū) is a Hakka district in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The area has grown tobacco since 1630[1] and is renowned nationwide for its oil paper umbrellas.[2] These oil paper umbrellas are made mainly by the Hakka population and exported to Japan. The original name, "Minong" (瀰濃), was changed to "Meinong" during the Japanese occupation. "Minong" could come from the name of a local aboriginal tribe, "Malang". Meinong is one of the four districts in Kaoshiung that is the central focus of Hakka cultural development.

In March 2012, it was named one of the "Top 10 Small Tourist Towns" by the Tourism Bureau.[3]
