Taoyuan, Special municipality in northwestern Taiwan.

The industrial city spans across thirteen districts, featuring a combination of manufacturing facilities, technology parks, and residential neighborhoods covering 1,221 square kilometers.

The region transformed from an agricultural area with peach orchards in the 1950s into Taiwan's fifth largest city through rapid industrialization and population growth.

The districts of Taoyuan incorporate influences from Taiwanese, Hakka, and indigenous communities, reflecting through local festivals, traditional markets, and food specialties.

The Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport connects with 167 destinations, serving as the primary gateway for international travel to northern Taiwan and Taipei.

The Shihmen Reservoir in Taoyuan supplies water to 3.4 million people and generates hydroelectric power while maintaining agricultural irrigation systems.
