Facts and practical information

Shilin District is a district of Taipei. It is home to a large foreign population, mainly concentrated in the Tianmu area. It has long been a top choice for expatriates from Europe, the US, Canada, Southeast Asia and Japan to live, run businesses, and establish embassies and offices, due mainly to the natural environment—sitting at the foot of Yangmingshan—and because the international schools are all located here. The central command of the Republic of China Navy is located in Shilin. ()
