Shanlin District
Shanlin District (Chinese: 杉林區; Hanyu Pinyin: Shānlín Qū; Tongyong Pinyin: Shanlín Cyu; Wade–Giles: Shanlin Ch'ü; Taiwanese: Sam-nâ-khu ), formerly known as Lâm-á-sian (楠梓仙) before 1901, later named Suannsamna (山杉林),[2] is a suburban district of Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan.The majority of the district's residents are Hakka people, constituting approximately 63% of the total population, with additional villages of Hoklo and indigenous Taivoan people.After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945, Shanlin was organized as a rural township of Kaohsiung County.In August 2019, some residents living in high-risk areas of Shanlin District were evacuated from their homes after heavy rain and flash flooding.[5] A shuttle taxi system named Happy Taxi was introduced to both Yuemei Villages of the district on 27 May 2019, the first public transport in the district.
