Nankan, Suburban district in Taoyuan City, Taiwan
Nankan is a suburban district of Taoyuan located between neighboring areas and marked by residential complexes and commercial zones. The area sits conveniently near a major highway and the international airport.
Development of the area began in the 1980s as part of a plan to relocate residents from overcrowded Taipei surroundings. This growth responded to the need for new housing away from densely populated regions.
TaiMall, which opened in 1999, shaped how suburban shopping evolved in Taoyuan's communities. The center continues to influence how residents spend their leisure time and gather with others.
The area is well served by public transit and offers easy access to the airport and highway connections. Visitors should expect crowded conditions during rush hours and peak travel times.
A major airline operates its main offices in this district, linking it to global aviation networks. At the same time, the tallest building in the area serves as a visible landmark marking the pace of modern development.
