| • | Xinyi District (信義區, Wade-Giles: Hsin-yi, Tongyong Pinyin: Sinyi) is the seat of the Taipei mayor's office and the Taipei city council. The Taipei Convention Hall, the Taipei World Trade Center, the Taipei 101 (and its mall), various shopping malls, and a Warner Village Movie Theater make Xinyi the most modern cosmopolitan district of Taipei. The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is also in the district.
There is the New York New York shopping plaza, which is primarily for foreign fashions. There are stores like Ralph Lauren, Armani Exchange, and many more. Also, there is Starbucks, a branch of Mr. Donut and McDonald's. In addition, the largest branch of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Department Store, which has four buildings in the dstrict, is also in Hsin Yi district. Takashimaya Department Store's anticipated opening has been temporarily postponed and it is unlikely to open in the near future. Also, there are restaurants like Ruby Tuesday, TGI Friday, and Romano's Macaroni Grill in the NEO 19 complex. Also, the annual Taipei Pop Music Festival is held in front of the City Hall, on the opposite side of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Department Store on Song Kao Road facing Jen Ai Road.
Much of the district use to be wetlands, explaining the abundance of space for construction projects as this was one of the last places in Taipei to be developed. Currently, a new Taipei Rapid Transit System is being built that would ultimately link the Taipei 101/World Trade Center area with the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall area in the Zhongzheng district.
The placename means "Honesty".
