 Taipei 台北
• Taipei ( 台北 ; literally "Northern Taiwan") is the largest city in Taiwan and has served
as the de facto capital (provisional capital) of the Republic of China (commonly known
as "Taiwan") since the Chinese Civil War in 1949. It is the political, economic, and
cultural center of the country.
• Situated at the northern tip of the island, Taipei is located on the Danshui River, and
is about 25 km southwest of Keelung, its port on the Pacific Ocean. Another coastal
city, Danshui, is about 20 km northwest at the river's mouth on the Taiwan Strait. It
lies in the two relatively narrow valleys of the Keelung ( 基隆河 ) and Xindian ( 新店
溪 ) Rivers, which join to form the Danshui River along the city's western border.[1]
• The city proper (Taipei City) is home to an estimated 2,619,920 people (March 2009).
Taipei City, Taipei County, and Keelung City together form the
Taipei metropolitan area with a population of 6,752,826 (March 2009).[2] However,
they are administered under different local government bodies. "Taipei" sometimes
refers to the whole metropolitan area, while "Taipei City" refers to the city proper.
• Considered to be an alpha world city,Taipei is
part of a major industrial area. Railways,
high speed rail, highways, airports, and bus
lines connect Taipei with all parts of the
island. The city is served by Songshan Airport
(domestic and cross-strait flights) and Taiwan
Taoyuan International Airport (international
and cross-strait flights).
• Taipei was founded in the early 18th century
and became an important center for overseas
trade in the 19th century. The Japanese
acquired Taiwan in 1895 after the
First Sino-Japanese War and made Taipei the
island's capital.The Republic of China took
over the island in 1945 after Japan's defeat in
World War II. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek
declared Taipei the provisional capital of the
Republic of China in December 1949 after the
Kuomintang (KMT) government was defeated
by the Communists who took over most of
Mainland China during the Chinese Civil War
