Quiet residential lanes with few shops, and a flower market billed as a "department store" for plants
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Wanlong is a residential area with little commercial feel: there are shops along Roosevelt Road, but turn east or west into the lanes and it is all purely residential. MRT Wanlong Station is under Roosevelt Road Section 5, and you come out right on the main road. The local landmark is the Taipei Flower and Plant Wholesale Market on Xinglong Road Section 1, which is also inside the neighborhood. It is billed as "Taiwan's first flower and plant department store", and on weekends there is a small farmers' market in its forecourt.
One stop north on the MRT is Gongguan, and one stop south is Jingmei. For everyday shopping the neighborhood ranks 29th out of Taipei's 73, and Wanlong Market covers the groceries. There are two elementary schools, Wugong and Wanfu, and National Taiwan Normal University's Gongguan Campus is also inside the neighborhood. For green space there are Wanhe Parks No. 1 to No. 3, and the riverside park is not far away. If you want a bit of a climb, one corner of Wenshan Forest Park lies in Wansheng Village.
Housing here is mostly apartment blocks, and in street photos the buildings rank 65th out of the 73 neighborhoods. The west side runs along the Shuiyuan Expressway, so if you are viewing a home on the side near the road, listen out for traffic noise. The northern half of Wansheng Village is taken up by the 7th Special Police Corps, a police communications station and hillside, so there are few homes there.
Wanlong used to be called Shiwufen, and the area was already being farmed in the early years of the Qianlong reign. In 1921 the Xindian railway line opened Shiwufen halt here; it was renamed Wanlong in 1955 and closed when the line stopped running in 1965, and the site is at today's junction of Roosevelt Road and Jinglong Street. Back then, coal trolleys ran from the station along Jinglong Street and Xinglong Road towards the hills, and there was a coal yard beside the station. When the MRT Xindian Line opened in 1999, Wanlong Station took over the old station name.

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.
