Zhonghe District , historically spelled Chung-Ho, is an inner city district in New Taipei in northern Taiwan . Zhonghe is a burgeoning satellite city of Taipei. Zhonghe lies just south-west of Taipei City and shares borders with Banqiao, Xindian, Tucheng and Yonghe Districts of New Taipei City, as... well as Taipei City. The average annual temperature is 21.7 °C and the precipitation averages 2,111 millimetres per year. The present-day area of Zhonghe District was originally settled by aboriginal tribes. During conflict between the colonial forces of the Dutch and the Spanish, the area is recorded by the Dutch as Chiron, from the name of one of the tribes living there. This name is preserved in on of the constituent villages of the city, called Xiulang Li , and the bridge which connects Zhonghe to Xindian. The area was subsequently settled by Han migrants from Fujian but remained relatively unimportant until the end of the Second World War. In 1946 the population of the area of present-day Zhonghe and Yonghe was 30,000 and it was classified as a rural township .
