Zhongzheng District

Zhongzheng District is the administrative hub at the heart of Taipei, encompassing a central area with important institutions and public spaces. It houses the Main Railway Station, several museums, the National Central Library, and green areas that serve both practical and cultural functions for the city.

The district took its current form in 1990 when two smaller administrative areas merged to create a centralized government zone. This reorganization established the area as the official center for city administration and public services.

The Red House serves as an arts venue where local creators display and develop their work in a shared creative space. Visitors encounter traditional and contemporary artistic expressions through exhibitions and performances held throughout the year.

The area is well connected by metro stations that link to other neighborhoods across the city. Visiting in the morning or on weekdays helps you avoid crowds, particularly around the railway station and government buildings.

Within this zone sits the Red House, an arts center housed in a red-brick structure over 100 years old that functions as a performance venue and exhibition space. The building blends historical architecture with contemporary artistic practice and hosts experimental events that many visitors overlook.
