Located in the northwestern part of New Taipei City, Taiwan, Xinzhuang City is adjacent to Taipei City, and is one of the important satellite cities of the Taipei metropolitan area. During the Qing Dynasty, Xinzhuang was once a major trading town in Northern Taiwan, known as the "Second Monga", and still retains a wealth of historical relics, such as the Xinzhuang Jizangan Temple, Guangfu Palace, and other centuries-old temples. In terms of transportation, the MRT system connects Taipei with Xinzhuang, and the convenient highway network also makes it an active area for commuting and commercial activities.
