Where the name Tucheng began — district office, primary school and market all beside Tucheng Station
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Back in the Qing dynasty, settlers built an earthen wall near where the district office and Tucheng Elementary School stand today—that's where the district's name, Tucheng (literally "earthen city"), comes from. More than two hundred years later, this area is still where Tucheng gets its business done: the district office, household registration office, health center, Tucheng Elementary School, and the Tucheng branch library are all clustered around Tucheng Station on the MRT. The station sits underground on Jincheng Road Section 1, near the intersection with Heping Road. For grocery shopping, there's the Tucheng Public Retail Market just off Zhongzheng Road; for a stroll through the shops, there's Tucheng's Riyueguang Plaza on Xuefu Road Section 2—both are within the neighborhood.
Based on street-view photos, sidewalks here rank 14th among New Taipei's 100 neighborhoods, making walks to the district office or school smooth and easy. Healthcare access also ranks 16th, with the health center right next to the station.
Most supermarkets are more than 1 kilometer away—daily shopping convenience ranks 80th among New Taipei's 100 neighborhoods, and overall convenience ranks 47th. The Tucheng-Shulin Line will have a transfer station at the Jincheng Road and Heping Road intersection; construction on the elevated section began in December 2025, so expect construction work around Jincheng Road while it is underway.
Before that earthen wall was built, this area was home to the Baijie community of the Pingpu indigenous people. In the early Qianlong era, around 1736, Han settlers began large-scale land clearing and built the earthen wall for defense—from a distance it looked like a city wall. As population grew, the wall also became a center for collecting grain and maintaining order. In late May 2006, the Bannan Line was extended here, and Tucheng Station opened.
The Tucheng-Shulin Line will run 13.3 kilometers with 13 stations, and the New Taipei City Department of Rapid Transit Systems expects it to be completed by 2031. Station LG11 will be located at the intersection of Jincheng Road and Heping Road, connecting to Tucheng Station on the Bannan Line, then heading west through Shulin all the way to Huilong Station in Xinzhuang.

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.
How to read it: yellow = poor, blue = good; grey = not enough data
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.
