The earliest temple in Taiwan to the goddess Matsu (goddess)|Matsu is found on Makung. Makung is therefore also known as "Magong Ao" (馬宮澳 or originally, 媽宮澳), or "Matsu Palace Seaport". The character ma was changed from "mother" (媽) to its present form in 1920 under the Japanese Occupation. There had been proposal from the Executive Yuan to revert the character, but there was little support. It contains a domestic Makung Airport. Makung City contains 34 municipal villages (里 li):
