Xitun District or Situn District (Chinese: 西屯區; pinyin: Xitún Qū, literally "western village") is the second-most populated district of Taichung, Taiwan. It is located on the western side of the city. Once considered part of the countryside, the district has seen rapid growth in recent years with department store and office towers in the redevelopment zone. Taichung City Hall is located in the district.
The original inhabitants of the area were the Pazeh people, who inhabited the Taichung Basin. The first Han settlers arrived in 1701, led by Liao Chao Kong (廖朝孔) and Chang Da Jing (張達京).[4] As a result, the Pazeh people were pushed out of the area, and most of them migrated to Puli, Nantou.[5] Many of its prehistory artifacts can be found at the Huilai Monument Archaeology Park.
Xitun is located on the western side of Taichung City. It is situated within the Taichung Basin, with the western part of the district on the slopes of the Dadu Plateau. It borders Daya to the north, Shalu and Longjing to the west, Dadu and Nantun to the south, and Beitun, North, and West districts to the east.[2]
Provincial Highway 12: Also known as Taiwan Boulevard; major road of Taichung running straight through Xitun.
The district is served by buses, including a bus lane along Taiwan Boulevard that was the former BRT system. The Taichung Metro Green Line, running on Wenxin Road, has 3 stations in the district.
Shuikutou, an early name for the western area of the district.
