Wanhua is an administrative district under the jurisdiction of Taipei City, Taiwan, located on the southwest side of Taipei City, formerly known as "Monga", which is one of the earliest developed districts in Taipei and carries a deep historical heritage. During the Qing Dynasty, Wanhua became a bustling commercial port where merchant ships gathered due to the Monga Ferry, and was known as "One Government, Two Deer, and Three Monga". To this day, centuries-old monuments, such as the Longshan Temple and the Qingshan Palace, remain, and the area is a thriving center of faith and culture. It is also the epitome of traditional marketplace culture, with famous night markets such as the Wanhua Night Market and Monga Night Market, mouth-watering local delicacies such as oyster omelette, marinated pork rice, sweet and sour, etc., and a fusion of the diverse cultures of Southern Fujian, Hakka and Aboriginal people. Nowadays, Wanhua has not only retained the nostalgic flavor of old Taipei, but also developed cultural and creative industries and new business districts, making it a must-visit place to experience Taipei's historical lineage and cultural vitality.
