A seven-hectare lake in the neighborhood, about twenty minutes to walk round
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Bihu Park is a neighborhood park built around a lake, with the water covering about 7 hectares. The loop trail around the lake is about 1.5 km, taking roughly 20 minutes to walk, and along the way you'll pass the Nine-Turn Bridge and a Chinese-style pavilion. There are also 6 hiking trails on the hill behind the park, and you can head up into the mountains right from the lakeside. Outside the neighborhood to the northwest, Jinmian Mountain has another nature trail of about 3.5 km. The park isn't far from Wende Station — you can walk there straight from the MRT station.
Near Wende Station you've got Neihu Senior High School and Neihu Junior High School, and heading east to Neihu Station, there's Huguang Market and Bihu Elementary School — wherever you live, there's a station within walking distance. Schools from elementary through senior high are all within the neighborhood, so drop-off and pick-up routes are short. Along the northern edge, the Jinrui Village homes on the lanes off Neihu Road Section 3 and Jinlong Road are also within the neighborhood, and the whole village falls within the Bihu Elementary School district. Seeing a doctor is convenient too — this neighborhood ranks 31st out of Taipei's 73 neighborhoods for healthcare; street cleanliness ranks 39th, in the middle of the pack. After grocery shopping, it's an easy detour to swing by Bihu Park and loop around before heading home.
Sidewalks rank 59th, toward the lower end, so pay extra attention when walking around. Right behind Bihu Park is the mountain, and the hiking trails head straight uphill — if you live toward the north side, you'll run into these slopes when you head out too.
The name 'Neihu' first appears in a contract from the 13th year of the Qianlong era (1748). Locals called mountain hollows 'hu,' so Neihu refers to a small basin enclosed by mountains. Bihu was originally called Neihu Dabei, one of many irrigation ponds in the area — today only this one and Dahu still remain. In 1987, as irrigation needs declined, it was converted into a park, and it wasn't officially named Bihu Park until 1989. The northeast corner of the Neihu Junior High School campus used to have a pond called 'Fanzaipi'. Neihu Station only opened in 2009, when the Wenhu Line started service.

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.
