Wugu is located in the northwestern tip of New Taipei City, Taiwan, China, bordering the Danshui River to the north and Linkou District to the west, and is one of the major satellite towns of the Taipei metropolitan area. It was named during the Qing Dynasty for its terrain, which resembles five interlocking stocks, and is now a municipal district under New Taipei City. Conveniently located, the Taipei Metro Airport Line and National Highway No. 1 pass through the area, connecting Taipei City with Taoyuan International Airport. The district's industries are mainly traditional manufacturing, but in recent years, it has gradually transformed into a supporting service area for science and technology parks.
