Local guide

01First impressions

Nanmeishuguan Li and Beimeishuguan Li together are home to about 36,000 people, and one in every five of them is a child under 14 — nearly double Kaohsiung's overall ratio. Taking the kids out doesn't mean going far: about a fifth of this neighborhood is taken up by the 41-hectare Neiweipi Cultural Park, and the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts sits right inside it. On the north side of the park there's a Children's Art Museum built just for kids, and along Makadao Road on the west side you'll find the Neiwei Arts Center, plus a family-friendly movie theater.

02What works

Street environment ranks No. 1 among Kaohsiung's 13 neighborhoods. Greenery also ranks No. 1, since the park's large green spaces count as part of this neighborhood. The light rail loop has five stops right here, running from Makadao Station, TRA Museum of Fine Arts Station, and Neiwei Arts Center Station, through Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts Station, all the way to Kaohsiung Municipal United Hospital Station. For healthcare, there's Kaohsiung Municipal United Hospital in the northern half of the neighborhood. School is simple too — the whole neighborhood falls within the school zones for Zhongshan Elementary School and Qixian Junior High School.

03Heads-up

Supermarkets are scarce — daily shopping convenience ranks 10th, so grocery runs often mean walking a bit farther. There's no MRT Red Line or Orange Line station here, so public transit ranks 11th; most people take the light rail first and then transfer. Zhonghua 1st Road marks the eastern edge of the neighborhood — the Nong 16 and Kaohsiung Arena neighborhoods are just across it, but you'll need to cross this main road to get there.

04A bit of history

Neiweipi started out as an irrigation pond dug during the Kangxi era of the Qing dynasty for the surrounding farmland. Starting in 1986, it was planned into a 41-hectare art museum park, with construction breaking ground in 1989. The museum's foundation was laid in March 1990, and it officially opened in June 1994; the whole park was built in three phases and wasn't fully completed until the end of October 2002. The light rail reached TRA Museum of Fine Arts Station at the end of 2021, and the full loop was connected on New Year's Day 2024.

How are these measured?

Compared against the Kaohsiung neighborhoods in this guide; metrics without enough data are not ranked. Shopping counts convenience stores plus the nearer of a supermarket or a traditional market (public and private retail markets); night markets, vendor zones and shopping-street shops are not counted. Transit is rail-first with a lower weight for buses.

TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. About data limits
