Local guide

01First impressions

The 5th Redevelopment Zone is convenient for grocery shopping: within the neighborhood you've got Daxin Market, Dajin Market, plus the Wenxin No. 1 Evening Market and the Dalong Road Evening Market. Down the lanes are homes and a scattering of small community parks—Dayi, Daye, Dongxing, and Wanshou are all here. Gongyi Road cuts straight across the middle, and the stretch along the boundary between Nantun and West District is lined with yakiniku (grilled meat) and hot pot restaurants—the Ministry of Economic Affairs listed it as a "Brand Street". On Dadun Road, Dadun Shopping Plaza is a shopping center converted from the original site of the Carrefour Dadun store; the Carrefour inside closed for good at the end of February 2026.

02What works

Healthcare ranks 4th out of Taichung's 47 neighborhoods, so you don't have to travel far to see a doctor. Daxin Elementary School, Dongxing Elementary School, and Daye Junior High School are all within the neighborhood, so kids don't have far to go to school. Public transit ranks 6th—the Green Line's Shui-an Temple Station and Wenxin Forest Park Station sit on Wenxin Road to the west, right on the boundary between the 5th and 7th Redevelopment Zones. Further south, Nantun Station sits on the boundary between the 5th and 8th Redevelopment Zones, and its only exit—on the northeast corner of the Wuquan West Road intersection—is on the 5th Zone side.

03Heads-up

Greenery ranks 23rd and street environment ranks 18th, putting it in the middle of the pack for Taichung. Most of the green space on this side is made up of small community parks; a big park like Wenxin Forest Park is across Wenxin Road in the 7th Redevelopment Zone. Yakiniku and hot pot places cluster along Gongyi Road, so if you're thinking of living near it, take a walk through around dinnertime to see what that's like.

04A bit of history

The zone's official name is the "5th Dadun Urban Land Readjustment," carried out from June 1983 to January 1985; before the readjustment, most of the land here was farmland with messy, fragmented land registration. The name "Dadun" originally referred to a mound inside what's now Taichung Park—Paotai Hill. A settlement grew up around it during the Qing dynasty, developing into Dadun Street during the Qianlong era, and the name later became an old name for Taichung itself. In the area around Daye Village and Huizhong Village within the neighborhood, the traditional place name was Gouziqian—though the character for "zi" was originally written differently from how it's written today—and from the late Qing dynasty into the early Japanese colonial period it was an independent village.

How are these measured?

Compared against the Taichung 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
