Traditional Chinese 三峽區

Sanxia District (Chinese: 三峽區; Hanyu Pinyin: Sānxiá Qū; Tongyong Pinyin: Sansiá Cyu) is an urban district in the southwestern part of New Taipei City in northern Republic of China (Taiwan). It has an area of 191.45 km² and a population of 101,839 (May 2010).

The old name of Sanxia, Saⁿ-kak-éng (Chinese: 三角湧; pinyin: Sānjiǎoyǒng; literally "triangular surge") refers to the meeting of the Dahan River, Sansia River, and "Horizontal River" (橫溪). In 1920, Taiwan's Japanese government designated it an administrative area named Sankyō (三峽; Romaji: Sankyō; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Sam-kiap): "Three Gorges."
