Sanxia District ( traditional Chinese: 三峽區; simplified Chinese: 三峡区; Hanyu Pinyin: Sānxiá Qū; Tongyong Pinyin: Sansiá Cyu; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Sam-kiap-khu) is a district in the southwestern part of New Taipei, Taiwan. It is the second largest district in New Taipei City by area after Wulai District.
The old name of Sanxia, Sa-kak-eng ( Chinese: 三角湧; pinyin: Sānjiǎoyǒng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Saⁿ-kak-éng; lit. 'triangular surge') refers to the meeting of the Dahan River, Sanxia River, and Horizontal River . In 1920, Taiwan's Japanese government administratively designated the town as Sankyō ( Japanese: 三峽, lit. Three Gorges), Kaizan District, Taihoku Prefecture.
After the first coffee plants on Taiwan were imported by the British to Tainan in 1884, the first significant small-scale cultivation took place in Sanxia District. [2]
On December 25, 2010, Sanxia Township was upgraded to Sanxia District after the upgrade of Taipei County.
It has an area of 191.45 km2 and a population of 115,443 (February 2023).
