Shilin District is a district of Taipei and home to a large foreign population, mainly concentrated in the Tianmu area. It has long been a top choice for expatriates from Europe, the United States, and Japan to live, run businesses, and establish embassies and offices due mainly to the natural environment -- sitting at the foot of Yangmingshan -- and because the international schools are all located here. The central command of the Republic of China Navy is located in Shilin.
