Suxliim 🔊 (士林; Shilin District, Taipei)

Note

The name "Shilin" was derived from Pattsiran, the Ketagalan word for "hot spring". It was then transliterated into Chinese as "八芝蘭" Patcilaan 🔊. By the late Qing dynasty, "many literary talents from the area had passed the imperial examination", prompting the local gentry to rename it Shilin (士林), meaning "congregation of scholars and talents".
