Once home to brick kilns, now home to a bald cypress wetland park
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
At the centre of Xinxin Park is a wetland pond that can hold about 2,600 tonnes of water, surrounded by a wetland garden, an emergent plant zone and a grove of bald cypress trees. The park is open all day, and it's about 260 metres from Kunyang Station on the Bannan Line—just a short walk from the exit. This area around the station was once called Dongxinzhuangzi, and by the late Japanese colonial period it had become a hub for brick and tile factories.
Kunyang Station sits at the junction of Zhongxiao East Road Section 6 and Kunyang Street, with average daily ridership of about 29,000 in December 2024. For public transport, it ranks 40th among Taipei's 73 neighborhoods—middling, leaning toward the lower half. There are schools close by: in Xixin Village, north of the station, you'll find Yucheng Elementary School and Nangang Senior High School, and in Liancheng Village there's Chengde Elementary School—all three fall within this neighborhood. For greenery, it ranks 38th, right in the middle of the 73 neighborhoods.
For everyday shopping it ranks 65th, and for healthcare 60th—both toward the lower end among the 73 neighborhoods, so it's worth scouting out a go-to supermarket and clinic in advance. If you need a major hospital, Taipei City Hospital Zhongxiao Branch on Tongde Road has an emergency department, but it's just outside the southern edge of this neighborhood, technically part of the neighbouring Houshanpi neighborhood.
This area was originally called Dongxinzhuangzi. The brick and tile industry thrived here during the late Japanese colonial period, with factories clustered around what are now Yucheng and Xixin Village, before gradually declining in the 1960s. In 1956, the Taiwan Provincial Government designated part of Nangang as an industrial zone, and steel, chemical and textile factories moved in one after another. The smoke from these factories earned Nangang the nickname "Black Township". By the time Nangang was incorporated into Taipei City in 1968, Yucheng and Xixin were already established as village names. Kunyang Station opened at the end of 2000 along with the Bannan Line, named after the adjacent Kunyang Street—during planning it had been temporarily called "Xiangyang". Xinxin Park was completed here in 2020.

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.
