New Taipei City
New Taipei (Chinese: 新北市; pinyin: Xīnběi Shì; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Sin-pak-chhī) is the most populous city of Taiwan. The area includes a substantial stretch of the island's northern coastline and surrounds the Taipei Basin. New Taipei surrounds Taipei, and is bordered by Keelung to the northeast, Yilan County to the southeast, and Taoyuan County to the southwest. The formation of New Taipei has made it the world's most populated suburb (if we exclude China, whose definitions of cities do not follow international norms), passing the former largest, Yokohama.

Famous quotes containing the word city:
“What it comes down to is this: the grocer, the butcher, the baker, the merchant, the landlord, the druggist, the liquor dealer, the policeman, the doctor, the city father and the politician—these are the people who make money out of prostitution, these are the real reapers of the wages of sin.”
—Polly Adler (1900–1962)
