A former provincial government staff housing estate, tree-lined grid streets and a path along the Liming Canal
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Liming New Village was originally built by the Taiwan Provincial Government as housing for its employees and their families, with streets laid out in a grid pattern and plenty of trees lining both sides. It's often called "Taichung's Minsheng Community," and quite a few films have been shot here. People living here buy groceries at Xiaokang Market on Huaide Street, and kids attend Liming Elementary School and Liming Junior High School right in the community. For walks, there's Liming Park in the community, and next to it, Liming Canal also has a walking path.
The walking path along Liming Canal is about 400 meters long, and it's only existed since September 2018, when the concrete embankment was converted into a vegetated slope. The greenery in the community was planned from the very start: a small green space was set aside for every 50 to 60 households. In terms of greenery, it ranks 8th among Taichung's 47 neighborhoods, and its street environment ranks 4th. If you want to borrow books, the National Library of Public Information has its Liming Branch right in the community.
The MRT is a weak point here: the nearest Green Line stations, Wenxin Forest Park Station and Shui-an Temple Station, are both outside the neighborhood, nearly one kilometer from its boundary. Public transit ranks 32nd, and convenience of daily life ranks 28th, both in the lower-middle tier among the 47 neighborhoods. The dormitories were completed in 1975, so the buildings are now over fifty years old.
In November 1973, the Taiwan Provincial Government approved the construction of employee housing; in 1974, land on the west side of Section 2, Liming Road, then known as "Sancuo Farm," was selected, and construction began in April. It was completed in May 1975 and named Liming New Village, with a total of 1,316 households on a site of about 41 hectares. The office area began construction in 1976, when the main units were the Provincial Water Resources Bureau, the Land Administration Department, and the Environmental Protection Department. After the provincial government was streamlined, these units were reorganized into central government agencies; the office area now houses nineteen units, the largest being the Water Resources Agency under the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Environmental Management Administration under the Ministry of Environment.

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.
