'''Neihu District''' ({{zh|t=內湖區|hp=Nèihú Qū|tp=Nèihú Cyu|w=Nei-hu Ch'u|poj=Lāi-ô͘-khu|first=t}}) is one of [[Taipei City]]'s twelve districts. Neihu means "inner lake." The older name originates from the [[Ketagalan]] word ''Tayour'' (transliterated by the Dutch as ''Cattajo''), meaning woman's head ornament. 

Many mountainous roads and paths, which are ideal for hiking, connect Neihu with the neighboring [[Shilin]] District and [[Yangmingshan National Park]]. Although it is a flood-prone region, Neihu has experienced huge growth with the construction of the Neihu Technology Park and hypermarkets such as [[Costco]], [[RT Mart]], [[Carrefour]], [[B&Q]]. The extension of the [[Taipei Metro]] to Neihu in the 1990s and early 2000s has also boosted residential and commercial growth.

The Tri-Service General Hospital, which is a teaching hospital of the National Defense Medical Center, is also in Neihu. The [[Wuchih Mountain Military Cemetery]] borders Neihu.

Neihu's attractions include [[Dahu Park]], famous for its picturesque footbridge, and Bishan Temple (碧山巖), a large Taoist temple dedicated to [[Chen Yuanguang]] on the mountainside that affords a panoramic view of Taipei. In the vicinity of Bishan Temple are a number of other Taoist and Buddhist temples, as well as orchards and fruit farms where tourists can pick their own fruit. An extensive network of hiking trails criss-crosses the mountainous regions of the northern part of Neihu.
