Most of Taipei rests on the bed of an ancient lake, giving the city an unexpectedly watery past. Taiwan’s capital and a special municipality, it occupies an enclave within New Taipei City in the north, about 25 kilometres southwest of Keelung. The Keelung and Xindian rivers trace the basin’s edges before joining as the Tamsui River along Taipei’s western boundary.
