Taoyuan District, Administrative district in Taoyuan City, Taiwan

Taoyuan District occupies a strategic position in northwestern Taiwan, functioning as the seat of municipal government for Taoyuan special municipality.

The region transformed from agricultural lands inhabited by Ketagalan indigenous people to an urban center following migrations from Fujian and Guangdong provinces.

The district holds regular festivals throughout the year, integrating traditional performances with modern celebrations that reflect both indigenous and immigrant communities.

Transportation networks include the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and extensive bus systems that connect residential areas to commercial centers.

The name originates from extensive peach orchards that once covered the Taoyuan plateau during early settlement periods.
