Xinyi District (traditional Chinese: 信義區; Tongyong Pinyin: Shìnyì Chu; Taiwanese: Sìn-gī-khu; Hanyu Pinyin: Xìnyì Qū; Jhuyin Fuhao: ㄒㄧㄣˋ ㄧˋ ㄑㄩ; Hakka: Sin-ngi-khî) is the seat of the Taipei mayor's office and the Taipei city council. The Taipei 101, Taipei City Hall, Taipei Convention Hall, Taipei World Trade Center, and various shopping malls and entertainment venues make Xinyi the most modern cosmopolitan district of Taipei. Xinyi District is also considered the financial district of Taipei. The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is also in the district.
Most of the district used to be wetlands, explaining the abundance of space for construction projects as this was one of the last places in Taipei to be developed.
The district is arguably the premier shopping area in Taipei, if not all of Taiwan. Xinyi District is anchored by a number of department stores and malls. In addition, numerous restaurants are located in the area, especially American chain restaurants.
Xinyi literally means "honesty."
