Wanhua District

Wanhua district extends along the Tamsui River, encompassing 36 villages and multiple commercial sectors across northern, central, and southern regions.

The area originated as a fishing settlement named Bangka by the Pinpu Ketagalan tribe, later developing into a major trade center during the Qing dynasty period.

The Longshan Temple stands as a primary religious center where residents participate in traditional ceremonies and gather for spiritual practices throughout the year.

The district connects to central Taipei through multiple transportation options, including the Longshan Temple and Ximen metro stations, plus the Wanhua railway station.

Three major wholesale markets operate within the district: the First Fruit and Vegetable Market, First Poultry Market, and Fishery Wholesale Market.
