Office towers line Bade Road, and Taipei Arena seats more than 10,000 people
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Zhonglun's main roads belong to shops and offices: Bade Road and Nanjing East Road are the main commercial streets, and Dunhua North Road and Bade Road are lined mostly with office buildings. Step out of Taipei Arena Station and the Taipei Arena and Taipei Municipal Stadium take up a large block. The Arena seats about 13,000 for concerts and about 15,000 for basketball and tennis. Its main entrance faces Nanjing East Road, with a large electronic screen called the Taipei Sky Screen over the doors. On the residential side, Zhonglun Market is on Bade Road Section 3, and Dunhua Elementary School and Dunhua Junior High School are both in the neighborhood.
There are two MRT stations to choose from, as both Taipei Arena Station and Nanjing Fuxing Station are in the neighborhood. Healthcare ranks 4th of Taipei's 73 neighborhoods and sidewalks 10th, so the lanes are fairly easy to walk.
Everyday shopping ranks 31st, mid-table among Taipei's 73 neighborhoods, and Zhonglun Market is the main place for groceries. The Arena often hosts concerts and award ceremonies, and when a show lets out, the area around Taipei Arena Station suddenly fills with people.
In Taiwanese place names, lun usually means a small hill, and Zhonglun is a low rise where Songshan, Zhongshan and Da'an Districts meet. In 1946 the area was divided into just two li (boroughs), Zhonglun and Zhongzheng; as the population grew, more were split off, such as Dunhua and Fucheng. Before the 1950s this was still where the city met the countryside, and further east was mostly farmland. As late as the 1970s Zhonglun was the terminus for many long-distance bus routes, and the provincial Highway Bureau had its main bus terminal here. That station, later known as Taiwan Motor Transport's Zhonglun Station, stood on Bade Road Section 2 just west of Fuxing South Road, which actually puts it outside the neighborhood's western boundary; it closed in 1999 and was later rebuilt as a commercial building. In the 1980s Bade Road was widened, the Jianguo Elevated Road was built and the railway went underground, and the area east of Zhonglun became part of downtown Taipei. The Taipei Arena stands on the site of the Taipei Municipal Baseball Stadium, built in 1958, where the opening game of the CPBL's first season was played in 1990. The stadium closed and was demolished in 2000, and the Taipei Arena opened at the end of 2005.

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.
