The most crowded area in all of Taiwan is part of the Taipei area -- but in Taipei County rather than the city proper. It's Yonghe, with 39,921 people per square kilometer, which puts it up there in the same league as Mumbai and Manila (though I'm certain those cities have individual areas much more crowded than Yonghe). So there's another reason not to live there. Suprisingly, Kaohsiung has an area more crowded than any in Taipei: the Xinxing district, with 30,732 people per square kilometer. These figures are from 2000. Hi, David:
