Xinshe ( Chinese 新 社區 / 新 社区 , Pinyin Xīnshè Qū ) is a district ( 區 , Qū ) of Taichung City in Taiwan , Republic of China .
location
Xinshe is east of the historic core city of Taichung and west of the Xueshan Mountains . The district has an elongated shape and the (north) eastern boundary is mainly formed by the Dajiaxi River ( 大甲溪 , Dàjiǎ xī ). The terrain is characterized by hills and mountains. Different levels or terraces can be delimited, each of which is separated from one another by steep mountains. The neighboring districts are Dongshi in the east, Heping in the southeast, Guoxing (in Nantou County ) in the south, Taiping in the southwest, Beitun and Fengyuan in the west, and Shigang in the north.
history
The original inhabitants of the area were indigenous Taiwanese ethnic groups of the plains ( Pingpu ). From 1826, during the reign of Daoguan , there was a large influx of Han Chinese settlers mainly from the area of Guangdong Province . An exchange of goods between new settlers and indigenous people developed in the area and the place was named 新 番社 , Xīnfānshè - "New Aboriginal Place ", which later simplified to Xinshe . At the time of the Japanese rule (1895-1945), Xinshe was reorganized as a "village" ( 圧 , Zhuāng ) ( 新社 圧 ) in 1920 . After the Republic of China took over Taiwan in 1945, the village became a "rural community" ( 鄉 , Xiāng ) in the newly founded Taichung County . When the county was dissolved on December 25, 2010 and incorporated into the city of Taichung, Xinshe was given the status of a borough ( 區 , Qū ) like all other county councils .
population
With 24,295 inhabitants (Feb. 2020), Xinshe is one of the districts of Taichung with a rather smaller population. 293 people (1.2%, including 75 Amis , 81 Atayal ) belonged to the indigenous peoples at this time.
