Taipei City Constituency 8, Legislative Yuan constituency in Wenshan and Zhongzheng Districts, Taiwan.
Taipei City Constituency 8 extends across Wenshan District and southern portions of Zhongzheng District, covering residential neighborhoods and commercial areas within the capital. The territory includes schools, parks, markets, and public buildings that shape daily life for residents.
The area was established as a distinct electoral district in 2008 following a major reform of Taiwan's voting system, shifting the country from multi-member to single-member district representation. This restructuring reduced the total number of seats in the Legislative Yuan and permanently changed how political representation works.
The area includes National Taiwan University in Gongguan, where students and scholars engage in local political discussions and participate in civic life. The university shapes daily activity throughout the neighborhood with its teaching and research presence.
Registered voters in this district cast ballots at designated polling stations distributed throughout Wenshan and Zhongzheng during legislative elections. Visitors can navigate the area easily using public transportation, as it is well served by metro stations and bus lines.
Since its establishment in 2008, the district has been continuously represented by legislator Lai Shyh-bao across multiple consecutive terms. This consistent representation reflects a stable political relationship between the legislator and the voters.
