Wanghsiang, meaning "gazing toward home," is a beautiful name. It's said that it got the name from a homesick officer during the Japanese colonial era--some say that that was the name of his hometown in Japan, while others say it describes his longing.
「望鄉」這個美麗地名，據說是日據時代當地的警官因懷念自己的故鄉而命名，意指「抬起頭就能望見故鄉」，也有一種說法是警官的日本故鄉就叫做「望鄉」。
