Zhonghua Road outside the station, the 1.5 km Zhongxiao Road shopping street, and a residential area built on a former textile mill site
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
The front side of Neili Station is the area north of the railway tracks, which was developed early on and has plenty of shops and banks. It sits right up against the Zhongli Industrial Park, so the people coming and going through Neili Station aren't just residents and students — there are also workers commuting to the industrial park. Stepping out of the front entrance, you're on Zhonghua Road, which runs parallel to the tracks; it's a lively commercial street, with Neili Elementary School and the traditional Neili Market both on the east side of the road. Turning from Zhonghua Road onto Zhongxiao Road, it's about 1.5 kilometers to Jilin Road, and shops line the whole way. Banks, the post office, and PX Mart are clustered near the Zhonghua Road end, while the Jilin Road end has the Zhongxiao Evening Market, handy for picking up groceries on your way home from work. There used to be a night market on Saturday nights too, but it was forced to relocate, and it's not as lively as it once was.
West of Zhongxiao Road is the Yuansheng Land Readjustment Zone, built on the former site of a textile factory — the street blocks are neatly laid out and there's a high proportion of parks and green space. Every March and April, Yuansheng Park's wisteria blooms and draws big crowds of flower viewers. Chenggong Park, to the east, is near Neili Senior High School, and the Neili Branch of the Taoyuan Public Library is built right inside the park. Yuansheng Elementary School, Neili Elementary School, and Neili Senior High School are all within the neighborhood. For everyday convenience, this neighborhood ranks 4th out of Taoyuan's 11 neighborhoods, putting it in the upper half. For transit, about 20,000 trips a day passed through Neili Station in 2025, and you can transfer to 21 city bus routes right by the station.
The neighborhood's southern boundary is the railway itself, so getting to the rear of the station means crossing the pedestrian bridge over the tracks. Because of the railway undergrounding project, the station area will be under construction for the next several years. Neili Station is mainly served by local commuter trains. For everyday shopping, this neighborhood ranks 7th, putting it in the middle of Taoyuan's 11 neighborhoods, and most errands rely on Zhonghua Road and Zhongxiao Road.
"Neili" was originally the name of a stream — the 1871 Gazetteer of Tamsui Subprefecture recorded it as "Neilixi Zhuang". In 1902, the station here opened under the name "Kanzaijiao Station," and it wasn't renamed "Neili" until 1958. In 1940, Neili Elementary School got its start as a branch classroom of Xinjie Elementary School in Kanzijiao. The Neili Industrial Park was completed in 1969 and later expanded into the Zhongli Industrial Park, and people working there moved in to live nearby. In 1995, the roughly 80,000-ping (about 26-hectare) former site of the Yuansheng Textile Factory had its urban plan changed, becoming a residential area and park.
The revised plan for the railway undergrounding was approved in August 2026, with Neili Station in the first phase, targeted to open in January 2033. According to a May 2026 city government announcement, once complete, the project will connect the front and rear sides of the station that are currently separated by the railway, and Neili Station itself will also get a facility upgrade.

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.

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.
