Hemei Township is an urban township in northwestern Changhua County, Taiwan. It is bordered by the Dadu River to the north, Shengang and Xianxi to the west, Lukang and Xiushui to the south, and Changhua City to the east.
==History== An early name for the area that is now Hemei was Khah-lí-siān (), taken from the aboriginal Babuza language. It was late named Hô-bí-sòaⁿ (). The shortened name Hemei became official with the formation of Hemei (Wabi) Village on 1 October 1920 under Japanese rule.
