Bali (traditional Chinese: 八里郷pinyin: Bālǐ XiāngWade-Giles: Pa1-li3-hsiang1Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Pat-lí-hiong) is a rural township in the northwestern part of Taipei County in northern Taiwan (ROC). In Taiwanese, it was known as Pat-lí-hun (八里坌) during the rule of the Qing Dynasty. The new Port of Taipei is under construction in Bali.

In 2009 the entire county will become a city in its own right: a special municipality called New Taipei. [1]
