Taoyuan is a special municipality in northwestern Taiwan, neighboring New Taipei City to the north-east, Yilan County to the south-east, and Hsinchu County to the south-west. Taoyuan District is the seat of the municipal government and which, along with Zhongli District, forms a large metropolitan area. Taoyuan developed from a satellite city of Taipei metropolitan area to become the fourth-largest metropolitan area, and fifth-largest populated city in Taiwan. "Taoyuan" literally means "peach garden" in Chinese, since the area used to have many peach trees.

Taoyuan City is home to many industrial parks and tech company headquarters. Since commuting to the Taipei metropolitan area is easy, and its advantages of relatively low cost of living as well as less impacts by natural disasters in northern Taiwan, Taoyuan has had the fastest population growth of any city in Taiwan in recent decades. The city is also a major destination for Taiwan's largest foreign worker population, many from Southeast Asia, with more than 116,000 in 2021. Taoyuan International Airport, which serves the capital, Taipei and the rest of northern Taiwan, is located in this city.
