Zhonghe District

Zhonghe District (Chinese: 中和區; Hanyu Pinyin: Zhōnghé Qū; Tongyong Pinyin: Jhonghé Cyu, Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tiong-hô Khu), also spelled Chūwa[citation needed] and Jhonghe, is an inner city district in New Taipei City in northern Taiwan (ROC).

Most of Zhonghe lies a few tens of meters above sea level and is heavily urbanized, with forested hillier country in the southeast.

A mountainous ridge forms most of the eastern border with Xindian, which includes the highest point in Zhonghe, the 302-meter Fenglusai (Chinese: 風爐塞山; pinyin: Fēnglúsài Shān).

[3] This name is preserved in one of the constituent villages of the city, called Xiulang Li (秀朗里), and the bridge which connects Zhonghe and Xindian.

The area was subsequently settled by Han Chinese migrants from Fujian but remained relatively unimportant until the end of the Second World War.

This is also reflected in the names of various institutions such as Shuang-Ho Hospital[5] in Zhonghe and Shuanghe Libai Church[6] in Yonghe District.

Also providing road links is Provincial Highway 64, an elevated expressway that cuts through the middle of the district, with several on and off-ramps in Zhonghe itself.
