01 · Overview

New Taipei City, in brief

New Taipei City is a special municipality situated in northern Taiwan. The city holds an estimated population of 4,004,367 as of January 2023, establishing it as the most populous city in Taiwan and the second largest special municipality by area.

Northern coastline. Mountainous Xueshan Range. Taipei Basin.

The geographical expanse reaches from the island's northern coastline all the way to the mountainous Xueshan Range, enclosing the entire Taipei Basin within its municipal boundaries. The top-level administrative divisions that share borders with the municipality consist of Keelung positioned to the northeast, Yilan County situated to the southeast, and Taoyuan located to the southwest. Additionally, the municipality completely surrounds the capital city of Taipei. Formed through a merger of numerous regiopolis units, suburban business districts, and commuter towns, the territory operates as a continuous polycentric urban conurbation. Banqiao District functions as the municipal seat alongside acting as its biggest commercial area.

Artificial international seaport. Major transit hubs.

Transportation and geographical navigation are supported by several key infrastructure points. Situated on the northwestern coast inside Bali District lies the Port of Taipei, which operates as an artificial international seaport. Broad transit connectivity links the municipality to other major cities and regional destinations across the island through public transport offerings that include Metro services, high-speed rail lines, and a dedicated airport railway commuting directly to Taoyuan International Airport, a major aviation hub in northern Taiwan.

Neolithic beginnings. Indigenous heritage.

Archeological investigations trace human presence back to the Neolithic period, with artifacts excavated in Bali District showing historical remains dating from 7000 to 4700 BC. Before Spanish and Dutch outposts were established in Tamsui in 1626, the territory was primarily inhabited by Taiwanese indigenous populations, predominantly the Ketagalan people, while evidence documents that the Atayal inhabited Wulai District. Recorded migration originating from mainland China began as early as 1620, pushing local tribes into mountainous terrain over time, and many indigenous inhabitants have since assimilated into the general population.
