Shulin District, Administrative district in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Shulin District is an administrative area in southwestern New Taipei covering roughly 33 square kilometers with mountains, homes, and factories. The landscape includes industrial zones near Lujiao Creek Wetlands and residential neighborhoods.
The area grew from seventeen villages that were part of Yingge Township until it became a separate township in 1946. It gained its current status as a district within New Taipei City in 2010.
The area is shaped by celebrations honoring the Baosheng Dadi deity, observed in the third lunar month. Ganyuan holds annual ritual sacrifices during the first month that reflect local traditions.
The district is well connected by multiple railway stations, including Shulin Station, making it easy to move around the area. Good transportation links allow visitors to explore different parts of the district with ease.
Local bakeries make a traditional pastry called Wuren that contains winter melon, egg yolk, lard, raisins, and walnuts. This distinctive recipe has been made in the area for about four decades.
