Sanchong District

Sanchong is bounded to the north and northwest by Luzhou, Wugu, the west by Xinzhuang, and is separated from Taipei City by the Tamsui River.

Sanchong was called Satengpo (Chinese: 三重埔; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Saⁿ-têng-po͘ / Sam-tiông-po͘),[3] which literally means "The Third Plain" by the early settlers.

On 1 April 1962, Sanchong was upgraded from an urban township to be a county-administered city.

The Taoyuan Airport MRT also stops at Sanchong station.

It is also connected to Xinzhuang, Luzhou, Wugu, and Banqiao District.
