New neighbourhoods growing along both sides of Huanzhong Road, Lixin Park and the old temple sitting side by side
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
The Unit 2 Redevelopment Zone is still growing: the new highrises and townhouses lining both sides of Huanzhong Road are interspersed with vacant lots and construction sites. Xinsheng and Longtan villages have a registered population of just 6,340, and new buildings are still being handed over one by one. For a walk, head to Lixin Park at the corner of Gongyi Road and Longfu Road, which covers about 3.6 hectares. About 200 meters outside the neighborhood's western border is Fazi River, a wide, shallow riverbed. The older layer is still here too: Longtan Village has an old temple, Qixing Temple, dedicated mainly to Kaizhang Shengwang.
The newly developed streets look tidy in street-view photos, and buildings rank 3rd among Taichung's 47 neighborhoods. Houses must be set back 6 meters from the road with front yards, and walls can't exceed 2 meters, so every house sits a bit back from the street; greenery here ranks 2nd. Driving is convenient too—Provincial Highway 74 is right next door, and it's about 10 minutes to the Nantun Interchange on National Freeway No. 1. The department stores and restaurants of the 7th Redevelopment Zone are to the east, just a short drive away for weekend dining and shopping.
Daily convenience is the biggest downside—it ranks 46th out of Taichung's 47 neighborhoods for everyday amenities. Public transit ranks 45th too, since there's no MRT station within the neighborhood; the nearest one, Shui-an Temple Station on the Green Line, is about 1.2 kilometers from the border. The real estate market often calls this the "Huiwen school district," but both Huiwen Elementary School and Huiwen High School are on the 7th Redevelopment Zone side, about 630 to 710 meters from the neighborhood border; Liming Elementary School is also outside the neighborhood.
Qixing Temple in Longtan Village was founded in 1909 (the 3rd year before the Republic of China), and for over a century it has been Xitun's spiritual center. This land readjustment zone was approved by the city government in 2008, covering about 186 hectares, and was carried out as a self-organized land readjustment by an association of local landowners. In a 2013 interview, the developer said they widened what was originally a 10-meter road into a 25-meter green corridor, planning it as a bike greenway roughly 2 kilometers long. In 2022, Qixing Temple held its first grand procession since the temple was built.
The second construction contract of Shizheng Road's westward extension, running from Anhe Road to Huanzhong Road Section 3, broke ground in February 2024. According to the city government's construction progress system, the expected completion date is the end of August 2027. Its Huanzhong Road end sits right at the neighborhood's northern corner, and the city says that once it opens, it will link the airport, the science park, and downtown.

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.
