   • In order to consolidate and improve the efficiency of its districts, Taipei City Government reduced the number of the city's districts from 16 to 12 on March 12, 1990. The area from the south side of the Songshan Dist. Railway Station and the area from the north side of section 3, Heping E. Rd. of Daan Dist. were combined and given the name “Xinyi District”. Many landmark buildings are located in this area: the Taipei Financial Center (Taipei 101), Taipei City Hall, Taipei City Council, National Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall, World Trade Center, Taipei International Conference Center, International Commercial Building , Grand Hyatt Taipei, etc. With the greatest number of landmark buildings, Xinyi Dist. is considered the political, economic, and cultural center of Taipei City.
