Taoyuan City (桃園市) is the formal name for all of Taoyuan, which was upgraded from county to city status in 2014. The original city is now known simply as Taoyuan District (桃園區) but in keeping with the conventions of this blog I'm still referring to it as a city. At any rate, Taoyuan City is a satellite of Taipei known mainly for its night markets and relatively affordable real estate.
