Living by the water where the Sanxia River meets Hengxi Creek, and seeing the lanterns at Guangxing Temple at the Lantern Festival
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Longpu Station is close to where the Sanxia River meets Hengxi Creek, and the city's Department of Rapid Transit Systems says the area has fine waterfront scenery. The station's secondary name is Sanxia Guangxing Temple, and the temple is about a 6-minute walk from the station. In front of the temple are a plaza and an ornamental pond, and many people come to worship and see the lanterns on Lord Guan's birthday, during the procession and at the Lantern Festival.
This neighborhood is a single village, Longpu, on the south-east side of the Beida Special District. When real-estate listings describe the Beida Special District, they count both Longpu Elementary School and Beida Elementary School among its schools. Beida Elementary School is on Guoguang Street inside this neighborhood and only opened in 2012.
The Sanying Line opened on 30 June 2026, with a transfer to the Bannan Line at Dingpu Station. Rides were free during trial operation until the end of August, and fares began on 1 September. Public transit ranks 7th of 100 neighborhoods in New Taipei, in the upper tier.
Longpu Station is inside this neighborhood, and Sanxia Station is on its western edge. The official National Taipei University Special District is bounded on the south-east by Sanshu Road, and Wikipedia also says the district runs north to south across Longpu Village. So the area around Sanxia Station is a corner where the two overlap, and its street grid squares are counted in the Sanxia Beida neighborhood.
Neighborhood units (lin) 9 to 36 of Longpu Village are in the Beida Elementary School catchment, and lin 1 to 8 in the Longpu Elementary School catchment. Longpu Elementary School is on Daxue Road in Longxue Village, outside this neighborhood. In our street photos, greenery ranks 14th of 100 neighborhoods in New Taipei, also in the upper tier.
Everyday shopping ranks 83rd of 100 neighborhoods in New Taipei and sidewalks 90th, both in the lower tier. Real-estate listings on the Beida Special District say it has no traditional market, so fresh food means a chain supermarket or a trip to the old town.
The surroundings are still changing. The Sanying Line's Sanxia Depot, about 14.1 hectares, is on the south side of Longpu Road. At a 2019 public hearing on the national land plan, the Department of Rapid Transit Systems said the depot site would later be developed to fill the gap in commercial-centre services for Sanxia and the Beida Special District.
Another new plan, the Maizaiyuan urban plan, was put on hold the same year because landowners could not agree.
Longpu Elementary School set up a preparatory office in 2008, took its first lower-grade pupils in 2011, enrolled all six grades from the 2012 school year, and the same year was designated a school full to new entrants. Because Longpu Elementary School was full year after year, Beida Elementary School was set up as well.
Beida Elementary School was founded on 1 August 2012 and at first held classes in Longpu Elementary School's buildings, moving to its own campus on Guoguang Street only in 2016.

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.
