On the other hand, the local people are for the most part crowded in the western part of this city, that is, the districts of Ta-tao-ch'-en and Wanhua.
1964, Chiao-min Hsieh, “Settlement and Transportation”, in Taiwan-ilha formosa; a geography in perspective[2], Butterworths, →LCCN, page 235:
The population of Taipei is concentrated in two areas, each having a population density of more than 260,000 persons per square mile. One, the northeast part of the city, roughly coincides with the old Tai-tao-chen area. The other, the southeast part, is approximately the old Meng-Chia, which is now called Wanhua.
It is not at all uncommon in Hsiachichou for married men to seek the services of prostitutes in the nearby market towns or the Wanhua section of Taipei.
Soon enough I was back in the Wanhua District. I think it’s the oldest part of Taipei, but it’s hard to tell with the constant tearing down and building up all over the city.

Health Minister Chen Shih-chung told a news conference that of the 29 new domestic infections many were connected with an outbreak in Taipei's Wanhua district, a mix of old temples, trendy shops and hostess bars. Chen called on people who think they may have had contact with infected patients to go to rapid testing stations the government is setting up around Wanhua.
