Wenshan District

Wenshan District extends over 31.5 square kilometers of land surrounded by mountains on three sides with the Jingmei River flowing through its territory.

The district emerged from the merger of Jingmei and Muzha townships in 1990, following their transfer from Taipei County to Taipei City in 1968.

The district contains National Chengchi University, Taipei Zoo, Maokong tea plantations, and Zhinan Temple, making it a center of education and recreation.

The Brown and Green lines of Taipei Metro serve the district, connecting key locations such as Taipei Zoo, Muzha, Wanfang Community, and Jingmei stations.

The region maintains extensive tea plantations and bamboo groves in its eastern hills, preserving agricultural traditions within the metropolitan area.
