Across from the "Scholars' Cemetery", with free museums on the Academia Sinica campus
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
On Section 2 of Yanjiuyuan Road, right across from Academia Sinica, you'll find Hu Shih Park. This green space was originally a small hill running off the Nangang hills, and the park holds the graves of Hu Shih and Dong Zuobin, which is why it has long been known as the "Scholars' Cemetery". Cross the road into the Academia Sinica campus and several of its institutes run museums open to the public. Go on a Wednesday or Saturday and the Museum of the Institute of History and Philology, the Museum of the Institute of Ethnology, and the Hu Shih Memorial Hall are all open, and admission is free.
Greenery here ranks 19th among Taipei's 73 neighborhoods, in the upper part of the table, and Hu Shih Park is right on your doorstep for a walk. On the Academia Sinica campus, the Hu Shih Memorial Hall brings Hu Shih's former residence, exhibition rooms and gravesite together as one site. For the MRT, Nangang Exhibition Center Station sits inside the neighborhood at its northern end.
Everyday convenience ranks 70th and healthcare 68th, both near the bottom, so you'll often need to leave the neighborhood to shop or see a doctor. South of the Jiuzhuang end, the land rises into hillside. Sifen River, which runs beside the campus, burst its banks and flooded Academia Sinica during both the June 3 Flood of 1984 and Typhoon Nari in 2001.
Academia Sinica was founded in Shanghai in 1928, but it wasn't until 1954 that the campus was built on its current site in Nangang. In 1958, the academy built a residence on campus for its new president, Hu Shih, who lived there until his death in 1962. In 1974, Academia Sinica and the city government created Hu Shih Park around his gravesite. As for his former residence, it later became part of the Hu Shih Memorial Hall, and in 2025 it was registered as a memorial building by the Taipei City Government.

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.
