Two MRT lines meet at one junction in a small neighbourhood you can walk end to end
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Jingan is a node small enough to walk end to end: Zhonghe Road to the north, Jingping Road to the south, with the whole neighborhood covering only about 51 hectares. The Nanhua Road area is residential lanes, and walking from those lanes out to the Jingping Road intersection brings you to Jingan Station, where two MRT lines meet: the Zhonghe-Xinlu Line runs underground on the northwest side of the intersection, while the Circular Line runs on the Provincial Highway 64 viaduct on the east side, with the platform up on the fifth floor.
For everyday convenience, it ranks 2nd among New Taipei's 100 neighborhoods; and you don't have to travel far to see a doctor either—healthcare access ranks 5th too. Take the Zhonghe-Xinlu Line into Taipei, or the Circular Line toward Banqiao. Nanshijiao Station and Yongan Market Station are also both within four hundred meters of the neighborhood's edge.
Jingping Road to the south is the busiest road in Zhonghe, with the Provincial Highway 64 expressway and the Circular Line's elevated track stacked right on top of it—if you're on that side, factor the traffic noise into your decision. The two lines at Jingan Station share a single entrance, right at the Jingping Road intersection, so if you live up near Zhonghe Road on the north side of the neighborhood, you'll have a bit of a walk to reach the station. In street-view photos, the buildings here rank 89th, toward the lower end among New Taipei's 100 neighborhoods.
Wayao Creek on the east side of the neighborhood is the boundary river between Zhonghe and Yonghe, named after the wayao, the kilns once set up there to fire tiles and bricks. After Zhonghe and Yonghe were split apart, the boundary line between them wasn't finalized until October 1960, when cement boundary markers were set up along it—today's Anle Road on the east side of the neighborhood is that very boundary road between the two districts. The Zhonghe Line opened on December 24, 1998, and Jingan Station opened right along with it. When the first phase of the Circular Line opened on January 31, 2020, Jingan became a transfer station between the two lines. The April 2024 Hualien earthquake shifted the steel box girders between Zhongyuan and Banxin, forcing the Circular Line's Zhonghe-to-Banqiao section to suspend service for repairs; full service didn't resume until December 12.

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.
