Yonghe District

Yonghe is an administrative district in New Taipei City, Taiwan, extending along the western bank of the Xindian River. The river forms a natural boundary with Taipei City and shapes the geographic layout of the district.

The area grew from an urban township into a district of New Taipei when Taipei County underwent administrative reorganization in 2010. This restructuring brought new governance arrangements for the urban areas surrounding the capital.

The Museum of World Religions displays collections of religious artifacts and texts from different faiths, encouraging dialogue between diverse belief systems. Visitors can walk through exhibition halls and learn about the shared values and differences among major religions.

Dingxi Station on the Zhonghe-Xinlu Line links residents and visitors with central Taipei through regular metro service throughout the day. Trains run frequently and offer a convenient way to move between the two cities.

With more than 38,000 residents per square kilometer, this district ranks among the most densely populated urban areas worldwide. Despite this high density, parks and riverside spaces still provide room for residents to breathe.
