Sanxia District, Administrative district in southwestern New Taipei, Taiwan.

Sanxia District covers 191 square kilometers of land, making it the second largest district of New Taipei City after Wulai District.

The area received its name Sa-kak-eng from the intersection of three rivers: Dahan, Sanxia, and Horizontal, before being renamed Sankyō in 1920.

The New Taipei City Hakka Museum presents exhibitions, artifacts, and educational programs about Taiwan's Hakka community and their traditions.

Visitors reach the district by taking buses from Taipei, connecting through Yingge Train Station, or using the Tucheng MRT line.

The Zushi Temple features detailed stone carvings across 130 columns, representing a major architectural restoration project led by artist Li Mei-shu.
