By the Xindian River dike, home to Xiulang Elementary, which once had more than 10,000 students
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Xiulang is a long strip of residential area in the southeast corner of Yonghe, its eastern edge hugging the Xindian River dike, running about 2 km along Huanhe East Road Sections 2 to 4. The best-known spot in this neighborhood is Xiulang Elementary School, founded in 1976; by 1986 the whole school had 11,319 students. All 12 villages that make up its basic school zone lie entirely within this neighborhood, so kids never have to cross out of it to get to school.
Seeing a doctor is convenient here—healthcare ranks 10th among New Taipei's 100 neighborhoods. Day-to-day shopping ranks 19th, which is in the upper-middle range among the 100 neighborhoods, meaning you can generally find what you need for daily life right within this neighborhood.
There's no MRT station inside the neighborhood—the nearest, Dingxi Station, is about 440 meters outside the northern boundary. To the south, the Circular Line's Xiulang Bridge Station sits at the intersection of Jingping Road and Chenggong Road in Zhonghe District, roughly 600 meters from the neighborhood border. As a result, public transit only ranks 64th. In street-view photos, cleanliness ranks 99th, second from the bottom among New Taipei's 100 neighborhoods. Fuhe Sports Park to the north is also outside the neighborhood, so when you're looking at properties, make sure you're clear on which facilities actually count as part of this neighborhood.
The Yonghe area was once the territory of the Luilang, a branch of the Ketagalan people; Dutch household registers dating back to 1641 already recorded a settlement called Xiulang She. In 1709, the Chen Laizhang Reclamation Company was granted rights to develop the Taipei Basin, including the Xiulang area—marking the beginning of Han Chinese settlement here. Xiulang Bridge, which opened to traffic in 1951, took its name from Xiulang She. When Yonghe drew up its urban plan in 1955, it originally envisioned seven large parks modeled on the garden city concept; the site planned for Park No. 5 later became Xiulang Elementary School and the surrounding housing. In April 1958, Yonghe split off from Zhonghe Township to become its own town, though the boundary between the two wasn't finalized until 1960. When the Circular Line opened in 2020, the station outside the neighborhood was named Xiulang Bridge Station after this very bridge.

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.
