Xinban Special District (Chinese: 新板特區), also known as New Banqiao Station Special Zone, is located in Banqiao District, New Taipei, Taiwan.

Xinban Special District is the prime central business district, administration center, shopping center, and transport hub of New Taipei City.

[1] Important infrastructure, such as Banqiao station, New Taipei City Hall, New Taipei Citizen Square and NTPC Banqiao Bus Station, is located within this area.

The scope and planning of the Xinban Special District was later upgraded to the current 54-hectare area with reference to the research conclusions of the Institute of Architecture and Urban-Rural Development of National Taiwan University on the urban and rural development of Taipei County to construct a CBD on the west bank of Tamsui River, and promote the relocation of the former Taipei County Government Building in Fuzhong.

Since 2010, Xinban Special District also hosts the annual Christmasland in New Taipei City, which is Taiwan's largest Winter Festival, attracting up to 6 million visitors annually.
