Studios on Xuefu Road change tenants with the university term, while hillside homes up Pingding Road look out to the mountains or the river
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Renting in this neighborhood follows Tamkang University's term calendar. Lettings around the university cluster on Beixin Road, Xuefu Road and Yingzhuan Road, mostly self-contained studios, and most deals are done in January–February and June–September. Of the three roads, Xuefu Road is the one that runs through this neighborhood.
Head south into Ganzhen Village and it's a different way of living. The property site 5168 says this is the northern end of the Hongshulin area, stretching east along Provincial Highway 2 to the hillside homes around Pingding Road; the ground there is high, most homes look out to the mountains or the river, and the mid-rise blocks on the slope tend to be older.
The two sides are joined by the Danhai Light Rail's Green Mountain Line: Ganzhenlin Station is 0.84 km from the first stop, Hongshulin Station, and the next stop is Danjin Denggong Station.
Denggong Village has Yinshan Temple, a national monument, at No. 15, Denggong Road. Its main deity is the Dingguang Buddha; "Dingguang" sounds like "Denggong" in Taiwanese, so people called it the Denggong Temple, and the road, the elementary school and the village later all took the name.
Denggong Elementary School is at No. 99, Xuefu Road, and its base catchment covers Denggong and Xuefu villages; Ganzhen Village is a shared catchment of three schools: Zhuwei, Pingding and Denggong.
From our street-view photos, rubbish and street cleanliness rank 17th out of 100 neighborhoods in New Taipei, and greenery ranks 13th, both near the top.
Healthcare ranks 80th and sidewalks 71st, both toward the bottom. Real-estate listings say the Hongshulin area lacks large hospitals and traditional markets, so for a big shop you'll need to go to Zhuwei or Tamsui's old town.
The listings also say Provincial Highway 2 is badly congested at peak times.
Denggong's story starts with the temple: migrants from Tingzhou began building Yinshan Temple in 1822 and finished it in 1824, with the side wings serving as a hometown association hall. Hakka migrants landing from Fujian would stay here first before moving on into the Taipei Basin.
In June 1976 Xuefu Road opened, running from the Taiwan Railway's Tamsui Station to Tamkang College of Arts and Sciences, today's Tamkang University. In 2009 Xuefu Village and Xingfu Village were split off from Denggong Village.
The Tamkang University campus itself is outside the neighborhood, at No. 151, Yingzhuan Road, and had 22,674 students in 2023.
Work on the Danbei Road began in early 2024 and is due to finish in June 2029. Its northern end starts at the junction of Danjin Road, Section 1 of Zhongzheng East Road and Pingding Road, in Ganzhen Village on the southern edge of this neighborhood.
Real-estate listings say that once it's finished it will take some of the traffic off Provincial Highway 2.

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.
