Songshan District

Songshan District is a commercial area in Taipei featuring office buildings, retail spaces, and residential neighborhoods mixed together. The district also contains Songshan Airport, which handles domestic flights for the city.

The area was originally known as Malysyakkaw by the Ketagalan people before being renamed Matsuyama Village during Japanese rule from 1920 to 1938. Japanese urban planning influenced the region's early development and street layout.

The Songshan Cultural and Creative Park, housed in a former tobacco factory, showcases contemporary art exhibitions and design studios throughout the year. Visitors can discover local artists' work and creative initiatives in converted industrial spaces.

The district connects to central Taipei through multiple stations on the Wenhu metro line, making it easy to navigate. Visitors should know that the airport terminal operates limited hours and primarily serves domestic flights.

The Rainbow Bridge crosses the Keelung River with an S-shaped design and illuminates at night, creating reflections on the water. This structure stands out as a distinctive landmark that differs from other bridges in the city.
