From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sanzhi (traditional Chinese: 三芝鄉; pinyin: Sānzhī Xiāng; Wade-Giles: San¹-chih¹-hsiang¹), also spelled Sanchih, is a rural township in the northern part of Taipei County in northern Taiwan (ROC). It is the hometown of the former president Lee Teng-hui(李登輝), musician Jiang Wen-ye (江文也, pinyin Jiang Wenye), and the first Taiwanese PhD. Du Cong-ming (杜聰明, pinyin Du Congming).
