Subprefecture - Taiwan

Taiwan

• Under Qing Dynasty rule, this was translated from tīng (廳) in Chinese

• Tamsui Subprefecture (淡水廳 dàn shuĭ tīng) and Kavalan (Ga'malan) Subprefecture (噶瑪蘭廳 gá mă lán tīng) (both in Taiwan).

• Under Japanese rule, 廳 (chō) translated to prefecture, so the subprefecture refers to 支廳 (shichō).
