Beitun District
Beitun District (Chinese: 北屯區; pinyin: Běitún Qū; Wade–Giles: Pei3-t'un2 Ch'ü1) is a district in Taichung, Taiwan. Located in the northern part of the city, it is a half mountainous, half urban area. Though Beitun District used to be considered part of the countryside, the new Taiyuan Station has urbanized it considerably.
