About Xinyi District
What are the main landmarks in Xinyi District?
The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall anchors Xinyi District. Its broad hall and lawns open toward the towers, and around them stand the art houses that give the quarter its cultural weight: the Fubon Art Museum, the Aurora Art Museum, and the Taiwan Design Museum. The Taipei Dome rises nearby.
Sport has its own address at the Taipei Xinyi Sports Center.
What is the history of Xinyi District?
Xinyi District rose late in Taipei's story. Once quieter ground on the eastern side of the city, it was laid out as a planned commercial centre, and the opening of the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall drew the first crowds to what had been open land. Building followed fast.
The Taipei Dome and the Fubon Art Museum joined a skyline that keeps climbing.
