Located in the southernmost county in Taiwan, Wantan's development has been limited by the central government's shortchanging of the south to the benefit of the north, and by the town's own lack of money. The shortage of hard infrastructure and community networks leaves the town's residents sighing about always being "at the end of the line."
地處台灣最南端的屏東縣，由於長期中央施政的重北輕南，加上本身農業縣收入偏低的雙重影響，不僅硬體的建設不夠充足，軟體的建設更顯匱乏，使得屏東人不免時時發出「站尾包衰」的感慨。
