Residential area south of Dahu Park, where egrets gather by the lake and couples and families stroll together
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Dahu Park's lake covers about 10 hectares, and if you walk along the lakeside trail, you can often spot egrets, night herons, and common moorhens. Couples and families often come here together, and some people fish or picnic by the lake. The park is designed in the style of a Chinese garden, with a waterside pavilion in the middle of the lake where you can take in the whole view, and people often exercise there in the mornings. Most of the residential streets in this neighborhood are south of the park, while the homes around Dahu Shanzhuang to the north are also part of this neighborhood. The park itself spans two li, Xiuhu Li and Dahu Li, and Jindai Bridge sits on the Xiuhu Li side.
For greenery, this neighborhood ranks 16th out of Taipei's 73 neighborhoods, so you don't have to go far for a daily walk—Dahu Park is right at your doorstep, and it connects to Bailu Mountain next door. The streets are clean too, ranking 18th for litter and street cleanliness in streetscape photos. For kids heading to school, Kangning Elementary School is in Qingbai Li, and its school district covers all of Ziyun Li and most of Qingbai Li. All of Xiuhu Li and Dahu Li fall within Dahu Elementary School's district, with the school located on Dahu Shanzhuang Street, also within this neighborhood. For commuting, there's Dahu Park Station on the Wenhu Line, with its two exits on the north and south sides of the station.
Lihu Elementary School and Huzhou Station, down in Jinhu Li to the south, belong to the Neihu Phase 4 Redevelopment Area neighborhood, not this one. This neighborhood ranks 54th out of 73 for sidewalks and 57th for healthcare, both landing in the lower range.
Dahu was originally called Shisifen Pond, and because egrets gathered there in flocks, it was also known as Egret Lake. This pond was originally built during the Qing dynasty for land reclamation and irrigation, and is said to have been built by Lin Xiujun; the Taipei Prefecture Gazetteer from the Japanese colonial period states that it, along with Gongguan Pond, was created during the Qianlong era. Starting in June 1979, construction began on Chenggong Road Section 5 and the park facilities, after which the lakebed was dredged deeper and the embankments reinforced, giving the park its flood-control function.
