Editing Linbian (section)

===Climate===
Like the rest of Southern Taiwan, Linbian is located within the [[tropics]] and has a [[tropical wet and dry climate]]. Due to its location, it is considered to be one of the warmest townships of Taiwan having the smallest temperature variations between seasons in the country (along with other various townships in [[Pingtung County|Pingtung]]) because it is both located at a low latitude on the central Pingtung plains and also just above the [[Hengchun Peninsula]] which therefore does not share the peninsula's temperate climate caused by its sea currents. The coldest month is January and the warmest month is July, with an average daily mean of 21°C (70°F) and 28°C (82°F) respectively.  Although statistically the average highs during "winter" varies around 26°C (79°F), temperatures exceeding 29°C (84°F) during the afternoon are not uncommon even in January.  

Due to the warm and mostly windless weather, Linbian is famous for growing some of the best [[Syzygium samarangense|wax apples]] (lembus) in Taiwan, with one of the longest harvest seasons in the country, therefore it is nicknamed "the wax apple township" (蓮霧之鄉).
