Datong District, Administrative district in Taipei, Taiwan

The district spans across multiple villages including Guoshun, Yuquan, and Jianming, with an elevation of 2 meters above sea level.

Datong District emerged from the former Twatutia settlement, which served as the primary commercial center of early Taipei until March 1946.

Dihua Street Market represents local traditions through its architecture, tea houses, and extensive selection of dried foods and traditional ingredients.

The district connects to central Taipei through several metro stations including Shuanglian and Yuanshan, with multiple bus routes serving the area.

The Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei occupies a restored red brick building from the Japanese colonial period, displaying modern artworks.
