Wanhua

Wanhua

Wanhua District known in Taiwanese as Bangka a.k.a Monga, is Taipei City's oldest district. The district is home to historic buildings such as Longshan Temple, Taipei's oldest temple, and the Red House Theater, the first and largest teahouse and playhouse in Taiwan. Taipei's oldest, but decaying, garment district is also here.

Wanhua District was Taipei's first district to undergo economic development, but also has many old buildings and cultural sites. The district can be divided into three sections: northern, central, and southern. The northern area, including Ximending, has become home to many shopping centers and is popular among the younger generation. Central Wanhua is known for its historical sites (like Longshan Temple), traditional shopping, and local snacks. Southern Wanhua is mainly a residential area with a wide city park.
