Linkou District

Linkou District is a district in the northwestern part of New Taipei City in northern Taiwan. The name "Linkou" translates to "forest mouth"; in fact, for much of its history, Linkou remained a relatively rural and undeveloped district. This has recently begun to change: Since the latter half of the 2010s, Linkou has been undergoing a period of rapid population growth and land development relative to other nearby districts. Geography As of February 2023, Linkou District had a population of 128,929, an increase of over 41% compared to the population in 2011 – giving it one of the fastest population growth rates in New Taipei City. Linkou has a land area of 54.15 km², including many forested areas and canyons. Administrative divisions The district administers 17 urban villages (all seventeen of which were rural villages before changes made on 25 December 2010): Donglin Linkou Xilin Jinghu Zhonghu Hubei Hunan Nanshi Renai Lilin Dongshi Liyuan Dingfu Xiafu Jiabao Ruiping Taiping Village
