N?ngǎng (Hanyu Pinyin) (Chinese language|Chinese: 南港, WG: Nan-kang, Tongyong Pinyin: Nangang) is a district of Taipei. It is the seat of Academia Sinica.



There are 19 municipal villages (里 li) in Nangang. The following placenames are romanized in Hanyu Pinyin, with Tongyong Pinyin in parentheses, where they differ:
  • Zhongnan (中南 Jhongnan)

  • Nangang (南港)

  • Sanchong (三重)

  • Dongxin (東新 Dongsin)

  • Dongmin (東明)

  • Xinguang (新光 Singuang)

  • Xixin (西新 Sisin)

  • Yucheng (玉成)

  • Hecheng (合成)

  • Chengfu (成福)

  • Wanfu (萬福)

  • Hongfu (鴻福)

  • Baifu (百福)

  • Renfu (仁福)

  • Lianchen (聯成)

  • Jiuzhuang (舊庄 Jiujhuang)

  • Zhongyan (中研 Jhongyan)

  • Jiuru (九如)

  • Xinfu (新富 Sinfu)


The villages contain 423 neighbourhoods (鄰 lin).

Zhongyan, which was part of Jiuzhuang until December 1974, contains the Academia Sinica.



Nangang was settled in 1735 by Fujianese, especially in the present villages of Nangang, Sanchong, and Dongsin. Until the Japanese Occupation, the placename was Great Jia'na Fortress, Nangang-Sanchong Port (大加吶堡南港三重埔). Nangang, literally "Southern Port", refers to its position on Keelung River.

In 1920, Nangang was part of Neihu Hamlet, Qixing Prefecture, Taipei District (台北州七星郡內湖庄). In December 1945, the administrative levels were changed to Neihu Township, Qixing District, Taipei County (台北縣七星區內湖鄉). July 6 the following year, as proposed by Que Shankeng (闕山坑), Nangang was separated into its own township. In 1967, it became a district of Taipei.
