An old railway greenbelt hosts markets and music festivals; old apartment blocks have boutiques and cafés on the ground floor
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Xinzhongshan Linear Park is a green belt about 800 metres long, running from Exit R4 of Zhongshan Underground Mall on Chang'an West Road all the way to Shuanglian Station, with Zhongshan Station roughly in the middle. The park regularly hosts markets and music festivals, and at Christmas a giant Christmas tree goes up next to Exit 4 of Zhongshan Station. West of the park, the lanes of Chifeng Street are narrow, lined with old apartment buildings whose ground-floor shops have mostly been turned into curated boutiques and cafes. Walk further west and you'll hit Ningxia Night Market, which won five categories including "best to visit" in the Taipei City Government's 2015 online night market poll.
Transport is this area's biggest asset. Zhongshan Station is where the Tamsui-Xinyi Line and the Songshan-Xindian Line meet, and just one stop north is Shuanglian Station; public transport here ranks 4th among Taipei's 73 neighborhoods. Convenience of daily life ranks 4th too, and dinner is just a walk away at Ningxia Night Market. For groceries, head north out of the neighborhood to Shuanglian Morning Market outside Shuanglian Station, one of the few open-air morning markets in Taipei that still keeps its traditional character. After work, a stroll along the linear park is just the right distance.
At the Nanjing West Road end there are department stores and Zhongshan Underground Mall, so weekends get crowded, which is worth bearing in mind if you live nearby. The lanes of Chifeng Street are on the narrow side, so when you're viewing a place, try walking your daily route in and out once. Based on street photos, cleanliness ranks 37th among Taipei's 73 neighborhoods. Jiancheng Circle sits right at the southwest corner, but the roundabout itself falls within the Taipei Main Station & Chengzhong neighborhood.
The linear park follows the original above-ground rail corridor of the Taiwan Railways Tamsui Line. Chifeng Street, running alongside the old rail line, became home after the war to auto parts shops and hardware stores, and was an important hub in northern Taiwan for trading used car parts, known to everyone as Datie Street (Blacksmith Street). After 2010, community organisations and art groups moved in one after another, giving the street a new look through street renewal projects and murals. The park was also renovated in stages: the southern section between Nanjing West Road and Chang'an West Road was completed in 2025, connecting to the northern section running from Zhongshan Station to Shuanglian Station.

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.
