Taichung's most populous village (li), where new developments sit right at the foot of the hills
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
As of late 2025, Buzi Village was home to 29,532 people, making it the most populous village (li) in Taichung. The population boom came after a zone expropriation turned this area into a brand-new community, with one housing project after another finishing construction. Buzi Park and Bo'ai Park sit right inside the new community. Heading east, the land starts climbing toward the foothills, and the campus of Central Taiwan University of Science and Technology also falls within this neighborhood. On Section 3 of Taiyuan Road stands Taichung's first municipal hospital, which officially opened in December 2025.
The streets in the new community are laid out neatly—on street-view cleanliness, this neighborhood ranks 3rd out of Taichung's 47 neighborhoods, and it ranks 2nd for buildings too. For a stroll, head to Buzi Park and Bo'ai Park, which sit about 300 meters apart. The newly established Buzi Junior High School is also in the neighborhood and began enrolling students in September 2026.
Everyday amenities are still catching up—convenience of daily life ranks 42nd. There's no MRT station in the neighborhood, nor a train station. Healthcare ranks 40th: the municipal hospital's outpatient and emergency services are already factored in, but this ranking also depends on how many clinics and pharmacies are nearby. So for everyday medication or minor ailments, it's best to find a nearby clinic in advance. The geologically sensitive area around the Chelungpu Fault extends into Beitun District, so when house-hunting, it's worth checking whether a particular property falls within that zone. Although Buzi Elementary School carries the Buzi name, its campus is next door to the west in Shuijing Village, about 80 meters outside the neighborhood boundary, and it's counted as part of the Beitun 10th Redevelopment Zone neighborhood.
In earlier times, sugarcane for sugar-making was grown here, and a sugar mill (tangbu) was set up; all the sugarcane from the Dakeng area was brought here to be pressed. Later, people dropped the word 'sugar' and simply called the place 'Buzi' (the mill). In 1920, when local administrative divisions were reorganized, the characters for Buzi Village were standardized, and it became an oaza (administrative subdivision) under Beitun Village. In 1995, a detailed plan for the Buzi area was issued, calling for overall development through zone expropriation, and the road construction was completed and opened to traffic in stages between 2010 and 2012.

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.
