Daan District is an important political, educational, commercial, residential and cultural district of the Republic of China, commonly known as Taiwan. The name of the district means "great safety" or "great peace". Located in Northern Taiwan, it is known for having one of the highest real estate prices in Taipei and Asia in general.

Taipei, officially Taipei City, is the capital and a special municipality of Taiwan. Located in Northern Taiwan, Taipei City is an enclave of the municipality of New Taipei City that sits about 25 km (16 mi) southwest of the northern port city of Keelung. Most of the city rests on the Taipei Basin, an ancient lakebed. The basin is bounded by the relatively narrow valleys of the Keelung and Xindian rivers, which join to form the Tamsui River along the city's western border.
