New Taipei, Special municipality in northern Taiwan.

New Taipei spans 2,052 square kilometers surrounding the capital city Taipei, featuring a 120-kilometer coastline with numerous beaches and mountain ranges.

The region transformed from indigenous Ketagalan settlements to a major urban center following the arrival of Han Chinese traders during the Ming Dynasty period.

The city maintains 29 distinct districts, each contributing different elements from traditional temples and tea cultivation to modern technology industries and universities.

The extensive public transportation system connects all districts through metro lines, buses, and high-speed rail services operating from 6 AM to midnight.

The Wulai District preserves aboriginal Atayal culture while offering natural hot springs, waterfalls, and mountain trails within 30 kilometers of the city center.
