Taipei has a long history and many historic sitesPaleolithic AgeHuman beings lived in the late period.1875 (Qing DynastyGuangxu reign periodIn the first year), an imperial envoyShen BaozhenSet up hereTaipei House, meaningTaiwanSince then, it has been known as "Taipei" in the north.Taipei, which is in charge of military and civil affairs in Taiwan, has gradually become the political center of Taiwan Province.Taipei was rated as one of the most authoritative world city research institutions GaWCFirst tier cities in the world[2]。The Taipei Metropolitan Area, centered on Taipei and connected with surrounding towns, is the most populous metropolitan area in Taiwan.As the development core of Taipei Metropolitan Area, the largest companies, enterprises, banks and stores in Taiwan are headquartered here[3]。
According to the within jurisdictionZhishanyan SiteAccording to the latest archaeological research, Taipei has been inhabited since the late Paleolithic.That is, whenPrehistoric eraTaipei is still a big lake;Only when such highlands as Yuanshan and Zhishanyan emerge, there are human activities.They abandoned Wu after eatingClam shell, oyster shellConchShell andChuanjuanSnails and other semi alkaline aquatic and marine crustaceans becomeBeizukaBesides, there are also pottery, stone warebone implementAnd other relics.[4]
According to records, Taipei was the first among the Kaidaghlan aborigines (belonging toPingpu nationality）Han people came here in the early Ming Dynasty.Since the Spanish occupied the northern coast of Taiwan in the early 17th centurycheng's Before the early Qing Dynasty, the place was deserted without large-scale development, and was regarded as a place of barbarism by the rulers.In 1709,QuanzhoupeopleChen Tianzhang, Chen Fengchun, Lai Heyong, Chen Xianbo, Dai TianshuChen LaizhangKenhao, XiangTaiwan HouseZhuluo County applied for the reclamation of Dajiala, which became the beginning of reclamation activities in the Taipei Basin.Write more after "Dajiala"“Dajia Simulium Castle”, from Pingpu“tagal”。
In the middle of the 19th century, the commodity trade (especially tea) in the Danshui River Basin rose. First, Mengjia (today's Wanhua) became an important trading stronghold, then Dadaocheng came from behind. Taiwan's economic center gradually moved north. Later, the official decided to build Taipei City as the administrative center in the field between Mengjia and Dadaocheng.
1875 AD (Qing DynastyGuangxu reign periodFirst year), imperial envoyShen BaozhenEstablished hereTaipei House, in charge of Taiwan's administration, hence the name of "Taipei".In 1884, the Taipei City Wall and five gates were officially completed.1885Taiwan ProvinceThe provincial capital is located in Qiaozitu, but it is actually in Taipei.Liu MingchuanAs the first governor of Taiwan Province, he began to build the railway from Dadaocheng to Keelung and Hsinchu, strengthened the infrastructure construction of posts and telecommunications, roads, etc., and set the governor's office and the chief executive's office in the city (now located in Zhongshan Hall). The embryonic form of Taipei has been initially established.In 1894, he succeeded as governorShao YoulianThe provincial capital of Qiaozi Tu (nowTaichung City）After moving to Taipei, it gradually became the political center of Taiwan.
Since 1900, the Japanese have gradually demolished the city wall and the west gate of Taipei City, and the area within the original Taibei City (known as "the city" by the Japanese) has been used as the concentration area of official halls and the commercial activity area of Japanese people coming to Taiwan.In addition, four 3-line roads will be built on the original site of the demolished city wall, water and sewer systems will be built, and the "street correction" plan will be carried out in stages. The architectural style of the street is slightly westernized;In addition, parks and green spaces and other public buildings have been newly built, and Taipei has gradually become a modern city.In the early days of Japanese colonial rule, the original two Yamen were still used asTaiwan Governor's OfficeIt became the political center of Japan's rule over Taiwan until 1919 when the new hall of Taiwan's Governor's Office was built.
In 1920, the reform of administrative regions was based on Mengjia, Dadaocheng and the three city streets in the city, and Taipei City was established under the jurisdiction of Taipei Prefecture.
In 1938, Songshan was further incorporated into Taipei City.A person in Taipei was first seen in the Qing DynastyLan DingyuanThe "Ji Zhuchan Pu", written by Ji Zhuchan Pu, briefly says: "The Zhuchan Pu is a hundred miles wide and long, and there is no smoke in the sky. Wild people come and go here, and pedestrians are afraid of going there. However, the county town and the place where fresh water must pass up and down are flat and very plump. If you open up fields, you can get thousands of acres of fertile land. The great benefits of people's livelihood in Taipei cannot be added to this." The Taipei referred to in this article,It refers to the northern area of Taiwan to the north of Bamboo Trench.
1945National GovernmentAfter the takeover of Taiwan, Taipei became a city under the jurisdiction of the province and was subordinate to Taiwan Province.The Taipei Municipal Government was officially established on November 1, 1945Built-up areaChang'an West Road.Jurisdiction area: in the east is Zhongpo, Songshan District, Taipei City, located at 121 ° 35 ′ 16 ″ east longitude;The west is Shuangyuan District plus Mosquito (Xiyuan Town), located at 121 ° 28 ′ 43 ″ east longitude;In the south is Liuzhang Plough in Da'an District, located at 25 ° 0 ′ 19 ″ north latitude;Dazhi, Zhongshan District, in the north;It is located at 25 ° 5 ′ 25 ″ north latitude.The four borders of the city are adjacent to the villages and towns of Taipei County.It borders Neihu Township in the east, Danshui River in the west, Luzhou Township in the southeastShenkeng TownshipAdjacent to the southwestXindian StreamIt faces Banqiao Town in Zhonghe Township, and connects Shilin Town across Dazhi Mountain in the north.It covers an area of 66.9872 square kilometers and has a population of 328591.It governs 10 districts including Datong, Yanping, Zhongshan, Jiancheng, Guting, Longshan, Songshan, Chengzhong, Shuangyuan, Da'an, etc.
In 1949, with the withdrawal of the Kuomintang to Taiwan of 2 million soldiers and civilians, and in the 1960s, many people in central and southern China went north to study and work, the population of Taipei increased rapidly.In the past, with the assistance of the United States, the new construction of roads, residential communities, schools and other public facilities also began gradually;The developed areas of the city were originally concentrated in the west of the old urban area, and since the late 1960s, they have also begun to expand to large fields in the east.
In 1950, Taiwan Province adjusted the administrative regions of counties and cities, while the administrative regions of Taipei City remained the same.Taipei governs 10 municipal districts, including Songshan, Da'an, Guting, Shuangyuan, Longshan, Chengzhong, Jiancheng, Yanping, Datong, Zhongshan, with a population of 155133 and an area of 66.9872 square kilometers.Jurisdiction area: in the east is Zhongpo, Songshan District, Taipei City, located at 121 ° 35 ′ 17 ″ east longitude;The west is the bottom of the second section of Shuangyuan District Road, located at 121 ° 29 ′ 5 ″ east longitude;The south is the bottom of the fourth section of Roosevelt Road in Guting District, located at 25 ° 0 ′ 46 ″ north latitude;Dazhi, Zhongshan District, in the north;It is located at 25 ° 5 ′ 46 ″ north latitude.The central location is the downtown areaTaiwan Provincial GovernmentThe building is located at 121 ° 31 ′ east longitude and 25 ° 3 ′ north latitude.The city borders Neihu Township and Nangang Town in Taipei County in the east, is separated from the three major towns by Danshui River in the west, and Jingmei Town in the southeastWooden gratingThe village is adjacent to each other, and the southwest is separated from Xindian RiverYonghe Town, Zhonghe Township and Banqiao Town, and Shilin Town across Dazhi Mountain in the north.The municipal government is located at No. 39, Chang'an West Road, the built-up area.
The 1970s and 1980s were the high development period of Taipei City. From then on, the commercial center of the city gradually moved eastward to the East District, and the West District showed a relatively declining trend of development;Along with the high development, the traffic volume surges, eventually causing serious traffic problems.
On July 1, 1967, Taipei was upgraded to a prefecture level city（Taiwan"Municipality").In the next year, according to the natural situation of the terrain and the needs of water sources, with Danshui River and Xindian Creek as the boundaries, Nangang Town, Neihu Township, Mucha Township and Jingmei Town in the original jurisdiction of Taipei City and Taipei County, as well as Shilin Town and Beitou Town under the jurisdiction of Yangmingshan Administration Bureau, will be incorporated into Taipei City and transformed intoSouthport 、internal lake district, Mucha District, Jingmei DistrictShilin District、Beitou District。(Note: From July 1, 1968 to January 1, 1974, except for the other 14 districts directly under the Central Government of Taipei City, Shilin Beitou and Beitou Districts were under the jurisdiction of the Yangmingshan Administrative Bureau. The districts of the two cities are at the township level, but the Yangmingshan Administrative Bureau is at the county level and not a local agency. The real local agency is the urban area.)
In 1990, the administrative district of Taipei City was reorganized, and the original 16 municipal districts were adjusted to 12 municipal districts.
After the 1990s, urban areasUnderground railwayThe construction of expressways, MRTs (subways), bus lanes and other traffic facilities has been completed, which has eased the traffic pressure to a considerable extent;Xinyi Plan AreaThe city government and the city council have also moved to the city;In the western region, which was gradually declining, Ximending, Otaocheng and other areas also began to carry out local reconstruction and renewal plans.

It is the largest mountain system in Taipei City.The highest Qixing Mountain is 1120 meters, and the second highest Datun Mountain is 1092 meters. There are many volcanic landforms in the center of the mountain system and the outer edge of Beitou side.The inner lake in the east of the urban area, the south port and the wooden fence in the south are mostly hilly terrain.At an elevation of about 300 metersNangang Mountains(Thumb Mountain System) lies between Xinyi District and Nangang District.[5]
