Tech company towers one after another, busy with work by day and quiet at night
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Coming out of Gangqian Station on the Wenhu Line (Brown Line) and heading down Ruiguang Road, you'll see rows of tech company buildings one after another, each set back from the street with a broad plaza out front. The whole Neihu Technology Park had 5,750 registered companies as of June 2017, with 156,808 people working there in 2016. With that many people commuting in, the place has a real nine-to-five rhythm—busy during the day and quiet once evening falls.
In the street photo ratings, the buildings here ranked 9th, with neat, tidy exteriors. The neighborhood has Gangqian Station right there, so getting into the city is just a hop on the Wenhu Line. Along Ruiguang Road there's Dagangqian Park, a nice spot for a walk during lunch break or in the evening.
Supermarkets are a little far from most homes—daily shopping convenience ranked only 41st, so you'll often need to walk a bit further or pick things up on your way home from work. Gangfu Village, in the north, is already right along the Keelung River.
This area used to be called the Neihu Light Industrial Zone, covering the old place names of Fenliao, Gangqian, Zhouzai, and Beishihu. In 1986, the sixth land readjustment phase was announced, designating it as a dedicated light-industrial zone. In 1991, work began on straightening the Keelung River's bends, and the old street markets at Gangqian and Beishihu were torn down at that time. At the end of 2001, it was officially renamed the Neihu Technology Park, and by the end of 2003 about 1,758 companies had already moved in.
The Executive Yuan approved the East Section of the MRT Circular Line in 2023, which will add three stations—Y31, Y32, and Y33—along Ruiguang Road. According to an August 2026 update from Taipei's Department of Rapid Transit Systems, the projected completion year is 2034, with the actual opening date to be announced once the preliminary and final inspections are passed.

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.
