Old streets at the Taipei Bridge end: morning market, then night market
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Zhongyang North Road in Sanchong is home to the traditional Zhongyang Market in the mornings, which turns into the Sanhe Night Market at night—stalls line about 800 meters of the same street. The night market's south end connects to Chongxin Road Section 1, and right at that intersection is the MRT Taipei Bridge Station, named after the Taipei Bridge to the east. Walking about 400 meters east from the station gets you onto the bridge, and once you cross the Tamsui River, you're in Taipei's Datong District.
Crossing the river is easy, and so is seeing a doctor—healthcare here ranks 3rd among New Taipei's 100 neighborhoods. Convenience of daily life ranks 6th; for groceries, just head to Zhongyang Market on the night market street, which opens in the morning. For getting around, besides Taipei Bridge Station, there's also Sanchong Elementary School Station in front of Sanchong Elementary School on Sanhe Road Section 3—both stations are within the neighborhood.
Greenery ranks 97th among New Taipei's 100 neighborhoods, near the bottom. Taipei Bridge sits about 40 meters outside the neighborhood's eastern boundary, and the motorcycle traffic on the bridge's scooter ramp during rush hour is nicknamed the "motorcycle waterfall"—if you live near the bridgehead, factor this into your commute. The Sanhe Night Market draws crowds every night, so if you live along Zhongyang North Road, the street won't be quiet after dark. The neighborhood's eastern boundary is the Tamsui River dike and Huanhe North Road Section 2.
Sanchong was formerly called Sanchongpu. During the Qianlong era of the Qing dynasty, settlers moved downstream along the Tamsui River to cultivate land, naming the areas in order of settlement: Touchongpu, Erchongpu, and Sanchongpu. The name Sanhe Road comes from combining one character each from Sanchongpu and Heshangzhou. During the Xianfeng era, Qiaotou Port in Sanchongpu saw frequent traffic with the ferry landing across the river in Dadaocheng, and the streets grew lively along with it. In 1889, the railway built by Liu Mingchuan put up a wooden bridge over the Tamsui River, and the area around what's now Taipei Bridge Station also had a stop called Tamsui Qiaoxiang Station; after the main trunk line was rerouted through Shulin in 1901, the railway no longer passed through here. The bridge was renamed Taipei Bridge in 1920, and was replaced with a steel truss bridge in 1925. In 1952, the Tiantai Theater opened on Chongxin Road—today it's Tiantai Plaza. The current Taipei Bridge opened in 1996, and Taipei Bridge Station opened in 2012 along with the Xinzhuang Line, dug to a depth of 33 meters.

Maps show the shops and the sights. What a street is like, you only know by walking it. TidyMap uses AI street imagery analysis and public facility data to turn each area's street environment and everyday convenience into something you can compare. Search an address and look at the street outside first.

TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. Street environment scores use AI assessments of imagery; convenience scores use public facility data.
