1. Xizhi DistrictXizhi is an inner city district in New Taipei City in northern Republic of China (Taiwan). In the past, the Xizhi area was the Kypanas locality (峰仔峙社) of the Ketagalan Taiwanese aboriginals. The old name in Chinese refers to the fact that the tide from the Keelung River stops at Xizhi and goes back to the sea. During the Japanese rule, the place name was changed to 汐止 (shiotome, literally "end of tides"), which is the source of the current name.
