A Beitou residential area beside a large military academy campus, with willows along the Guizikeng Creek embankment
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
East of Daoxiang Village, Guizikeng Creek flows along embankments lined with drooping willows, with green hills in the distance—residents come here morning and evening to walk, exercise, and cool off. Walking back from the embankment to the residential area, Daoxiang Park is lush with trees and flowers, its canopy blocking out the sun. Another large section of the neighborhood is the campus of the Political Warfare Cadres Academy, National Defense University, covering about 39.5 hectares. The MRT station is called Fuxinggang, named after this campus, while the old local name for the area was Galaobie.
Greenery ranks 28th out of Taipei's 73 neighborhoods, so there are parks right outside your door: Taoyuan Native Plant Park is in Taoyuan Village, and Daoxiang Park is in Daoxiang Village, both within the neighborhood. Garbage and street cleanliness ranks 31st, also in the top half. The neighborhood extends north to Daoxiang Road, and both elementary schools are within it: Taoyuan Elementary School serves Taoyuan and Daoxiang Villages, while Wenhua Elementary School serves Wenhua and Fengnian Villages.
Daily shopping ranks 70th out of Taipei's 73 neighborhoods, near the bottom; healthcare also ranks second from the bottom, so you need to plan ahead for groceries and doctor visits. Taoyuan Junior High School and Zhongyi Station are both in neighbouring Yide Village, outside the neighborhood. What estate agents call the Fuxinggang area also takes in Zhonghe Street and Xiushan Road, but both lie outside this neighborhood, so check the location when reading listings.
In 1951, the Political Warfare Cadres School was established at the former Beitou Racecourse from the Japanese colonial era, which is the predecessor of today's Political Warfare Cadres Academy. In 1954, the 9th Taiwan Provincial Games were held in Fuxinggang, and Taiwan Railways even added a temporary "Provincial Games Station" for the occasion, which was decommissioned as soon as the games ended. In July 1987, regulation works on the middle and lower reaches of Guizikeng Creek were completed, finally resolving Daoxiang Village's flooding problems. On March 28, 1997, the Tamsui Line opened, and Fuxinggang Station began operation together with the roughly 41-hectare Beitou Depot to the south.

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.
