Yanchao District, Administrative district in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan.
The district spans across both urban and agricultural territories, featuring residential neighborhoods alongside farming lands within Kaohsiung's municipal boundaries.
Following Taiwan's transfer from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945, Yanchao transformed from a rural township into a district of Kaohsiung City in 2010.
The district maintains numerous temples, including Guanshui Temple and Jiaosu Mazu Temple, where residents participate in traditional Taiwanese religious ceremonies throughout the year.
Transportation infrastructure includes access to Freeways 1, 3, and 10, Provincial Highway 22, and City Route 186, connecting residents to central Kaohsiung.
Four major universities establish Yanchao as an education center, including National Kaohsiung Normal University and the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology.
