Local guide

01First impressions

Shi'erzhang is an old part of Xindian. After the Retrocession, a lot of military, government, and teacher housing was built here, and both Zhongzheng Elementary School and Chongguang High School (originally Chongguang Girls' High School) are in Zhongzheng Village. Zhongzheng Village and Xinde Village are separated by Liugong Park, but residents on both sides can walk there. Heading west from the park to the bank of the Xindian River, Xiaobitan Station sits along Huanhe Road. Since IKEA opened in May 2019, Meihe City, next to the station, has seen a lot more foot traffic.

02What works

In street-view photos, this neighborhood ranks 14th out of New Taipei's 100 neighborhoods for streetscape, and 8th for greenery — both in the top tier. Xiaobitan Station is the end of the branch line, with a platform that only fits three train cars, and outdoor escalators that stand 14.45 and 16.52 meters tall. Head east to Beixin Road and Xindian District Office Station sits right on the neighborhood boundary; the District Office itself is across the street, about 60 meters outside the neighborhood.

03Heads-up

Sidewalks rank 44th, landing in the lower-middle range — not as pleasant to walk as the streetscape itself. If you're living in the northern half of this neighborhood, Qizhang Station is about 400 meters outside the boundary, so when you're checking out a place, figure out which station is closer to walk to.

04A bit of history

Shi'erzhang is short for Shi'erzhang Lifen, roughly the area bounded by Zhongyang Road, Ershizhang Road, Zhonghua Road, and Beixin Road; under the Qing dynasty it belonged to Dapinglin. Most of the early residents here had the surname Zhang, so they took the Zhang family clan hall name, Bairen Tang, as the village name; in 1980, Baifu, Fude, and Fumin villages were split off from Bairen Village. Zhongzheng Road used to be called Shi'erzhang Road. The boundary between Xinde Village and both Zhongzheng Village and Zhonghua Village is Liugong Canal. Fumin Village was formerly called Xizhouzi, and Xiaobitan Station is located in this village — it opened on September 29, 2004.

How are these measured?

Compared against the New Taipei 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
