Neihu District is a lively area in Taipei City, Taiwan. It's known for being a modern place where many technology companies are located. The name "Neihu" means "inner lake" in Chinese. This name comes from the area's geography, as it used to have many small lakes and wetlands.
The district also has an older name, Tayour. This name came from the Ketagalan people, who were the original inhabitants of this land. The Dutch, who visited Taiwan a long time ago, wrote it down as Cattajo. Tayour means "woman's head ornament," which is quite interesting!
