Local guide

01First impressions

Around Chongqing Elementary School, 327 metres of sidewalk along Guanghe Street and Lane 101 of Heping Road were repaved in 2024, and the city government's documents say the aim was to let residents walk and jog around the school. The new stretch also gained 27 streetlights and 14 accessible ramps.

For groceries there is the Chongqing Evening Market, right inside this neighborhood; south of the school are Wuquan Park and Guangfu Park.

Chongqing Road is the old commercial spine here, and real-estate listings describe it as lined with long-standing shops, household-goods stores and banks.

02What works

School is within these few villages: the catchment of Chongqing Elementary School is Heping, Guangfu, Wuquan and Chongqing villages, which is exactly this neighborhood. Chongqing Junior High School is also inside this neighborhood, on Guoqing Road.

In our street photos, sidewalks rank 39th, in the middle tier. Guanghe Street beside the school also has several YouBike docks.

03Heads-up

There is no MRT station in this neighborhood; the nearest, Fuzhong Station to the north, belongs to Banqiao Fuzhong. Public transit ranks 73rd out of 100 neighborhoods in New Taipei, in the lower tier.

Everyday shopping ranks 65th, toward the lower end of the middle tier. Real-estate listings also say roadside parking is hard to find around here, and the lanes hold many older walk-up flats without lifts.

04A bit of history

From the late Qing period into the early Japanese era, the Chongqing area was called Sibiantou Zhuang and belonged to Baijie Bao; in 1920 it became an oaza (a Japanese-era unit) under Banqiao Zhuang in Haishan District.

From 1966, an industrial zone was set up in Sibiantou and nearby areas, and the factories brought large numbers of jobs, so Banqiao's population grew quickly.

Then the schools arrived one by one: Chongqing Junior High School opened in 1974. Chongqing Elementary School was founded in 1990 on about 2.7 hectares of expropriated land from Taimao Ninth Village, and took its first pupils in 1994.

How are these measured?

Compared against the New Taipei neighborhoods in this guide; metrics without enough data are not ranked. Shopping counts convenience stores plus the nearer of a supermarket or a traditional market (public and private retail markets); night markets, vendor zones and shopping-street shops are not counted. Transit is rail-first with a lower weight for buses.

TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. About data limits
