It boards Dacheng Township, Changhua County to its north, defined by Zhuoshui River, and Taixi, Dongshi, and Baozhong Townships, Yunlin County to its south, defined by New Huwei River. It is adjacent to Lunbei Township on the east side and Taiwan Strait on the west side. The general residents of Mailiao engage in agriculture and animal husbandry.

Therefore, raising livestock, such as pigs and poultry, and fish farming have always played an important role in Mailiao.
