A shopping district that grew up with the Central Taiwan Science Park, with redeveloped blocks flanking Taiwan Boulevard on both sides
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
On Xitun Road at the neighborhood's northern border is the Zhongke shopping district, which grew up alongside the Central Taiwan Science Park. Taiwan Boulevard Section 4 cuts through the middle of the neighborhood, with the streets on both sides developed through the Anhe self-initiated land readjustment project. North of the road are Yong'an Elementary School, JMall, and Carrefour; south of the road are Fu'an Market and Anhe Junior High School. To catch an intercity bus to Taipei or Kaohsiung, head to Zhonggang Transfer on the south side of the road.
For everyday shopping, this neighborhood ranks 7th among Taichung's 47 neighborhoods, with both a hypermarket and a traditional market right inside it. The neighborhood environment also ranks 7th, with schools close to home: Yong'an Elementary School, Fuke Junior High School, and Anhe Junior High School are all within the neighborhood. On Taiwan Boulevard Section 4 is Cheng Ching General Hospital, Chung Kang Branch, which opened in 1996. To the west, the residential lanes on the west side of Gongyequ 1st Road run right up against the Tunghai University campus, with Taichung Veterans General Hospital about 440 meters outside the neighborhood.
Public transit ranks only 41st, with the nearest MRT station, Taichung City Hall, about 2.3 kilometers from the edge of the neighborhood. Everyday convenience ranks 31st. Both Taiwan Boulevard and Xitun Road to the north get congested at peak hours, so allow extra time for commuting. Despite the name "Zhongke," the science park itself is not within the neighborhood—it's further north, on the border of Xitun and Daya.
This area's old place name was Shuikutou, covering what are today the villages of Yong'an, Fu'an, Fuya, Fulin, Fuhe, and Fuzhong. In 1917, Shuikutou Branch School, the predecessor of Yong'an Elementary School, began holding classes inside Yong'an Temple, moving to its current site only in 1922. Taiwan Boulevard, which cuts through the middle of the neighborhood, was named Taichung Harbor Road in 1960 and widened into a 50-meter, eight-lane road in the 1970s. In July 2003, the Taichung Park of the Central Taiwan Science Park began admitting companies. In 2005, Ubus moved its transfer station from Chaoma to this side, becoming today's Zhonggang Transfer. In July 2012, the road's signs were changed to Taiwan Boulevard.
Taiwan Boulevard Section 4 cuts through the middle of this neighborhood, and this is the road the MRT Blue Line is planned to follow. The Blue Line's comprehensive plan was approved by the Executive Yuan in January 2024, and a groundbreaking ceremony was held in June 2025. The city government's report originally listed a completion date of 2034, but in July 2026 the MRT Engineering Bureau told the City Council that the overall timeline would be pushed back by 2 to 2.5 years. The exact locations of the stations have not yet been officially announced.

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.
