Old quarrying ground of Qilian stone, with Yang Ming Chiao Tung University at the foot of the hills and Shipai's elementary and junior high schools in the neighborhood
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Qilian stone was originally quarried in this area, and Linong Street Section 1 once kept the last stretch of old market street built of this stone, but they were all demolished for redevelopment. The local quarry was shut down in the 1970s to make way for National Yang-Ming Medical College. That school is today's Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, with its campus on the slopes at the foot of the hills in Donghua Village to the north. Coming out of Qilian Station, Xi'an Street Section 2 is the main axis of this area, with Linong Street, Jili Street, and Zunxian Street branching off to either side. In Jili Village you'll find Shipai Elementary School, Shipai Junior High School, Shipai Park, and the Beitou Sports Center all grouped together.
The elementary and junior high schools named Shipai are actually both in the Qilian neighborhood. The Beitou Sports Center is right next to Shipai Park, so it's close by for exercise or a walk after work. Linong Elementary School and Cisheng Temple are on the Linong Village side. Everyday convenience ranks 44th, in the lower half of the 73 neighborhoods.
Sidewalks rank 69th among Taipei's 73 neighborhoods, so take extra care when walking around. The further north you live, towards the foot of the hills in Donghua Village, the more the roads start to slope.
Qilian is a transliteration of the Ketagalan word 'KI-IRIGAN'; the old Tamsui River once curved here into a bay-like shape, and the place name likely comes from that. This was one of the earliest villages in the Taipei Basin to be cultivated by Han settlers. Linong Street is split at Linong Elementary School: the stretch to the east is called Dingjie (Upper Street) and the stretch to the west Xiajie (Lower Street). The area between Shipai Elementary School and Shipai Park was once called Zhongfenzai, where the residence of Pan Chengqing, a provincial graduate (juren) from Shilin, was located. After the war the village was renamed Linong, while the village name Jili comes from the sound of 'Qili'.

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.
