The Zhongshan District (中山區 Wade-Giles: Chung-shan, Tongyong Pinyin: Jhongshan) of Taipei City has many recreational areas which include Rongxing Garden, Xinsheng Park, Zhongshan Fine Arts Park, the Dajia Riverside Park, and the Taipei Municipal Children's Recreation Area. There is also a Martyr's Shrine dedicated to those who died trying to turn China into a republic and a Fine Arts Museum. Another major tourist attraction is the Xingtian (Singtian) Temple, which is dedicated in Guan Gong, the God of War. Nearby the Yuanshan Metro Station is the Yuanshan Soccer Stadium, which was built on land that used to be the headquarters of the US military presence on Taiwan when the US still had diplomatic ties with the Republic of China. Not surprisingly, Zhongshan has a large pub and bar district.

The northern-most part of Zhongshan District is known as Dazhi. The former ROC President Chiang Ching-kuo lived here. In this region, there is also the Dominican International School, which is a private English-language Catholic school serving kindergarten to high school.

Taipei's equivalent to "Little Manila" lies in the Zhongshan District in the region near St. Christopher's (Catholic) Church. Every Sunday, many Fillipino domestic workers and laborers hang around the church and the surrounding Fillipino grocery stores and eateries.

The district is named after Sun Yat-sen.
