Taipei University Special Zone

Taipei University Special Zone (Chinese: 臺北大學特定區; pinyin: Táiběi Dàxué Tèdìng Qū) is a university town located in the outskirts of Taipei on the border of Sanxia and Shulin Districts.

[1] The university town was established in 1997 when National Taipei University relocated its campus from central Taipei to the area and had its foundations built in the early 2000s.

The university town area is the biggest tertiary education hub in Taiwan, including two higher education institutions - National Taipei University as well National Academy for Educational Research.

[3] In terms of rail transportation, the bus ride from Yongning Station on the Taipei Metro Bannan Line from the zone to Tucheng District takes about 12 minutes.

The currently under construction Taipei Metro Sanying line also passes through the region, with stations named National Taipei University and Sanxia.
