Home between the Xindian River and the hillside, with wooded hills on either side of the estates
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Qingtan is squeezed between the Xindian River and the hillside; its estates are built up the slope, and some homes sit halfway up the hill. Real-estate listings say the area is flanked mostly by wooded hills and green space, and the air is good.
Section 2 of the Beiyi Highway runs through Qingtan, and Xindian District is where this highway heads into the mountains. Real-estate listings say most people who live here own their homes.
For everyday shopping there are PX Mart, Simple Mart and Carrefour. Children go to Qingtan Elementary School, and Qingtan Village also has a riverside park beside Section 2 of Beiyi Road.
The base catchment of Qingtan Elementary School lines up exactly with the neighborhood: neighborhood units (lin) 3 to 22 of Qingtan Village, lin 1 to 15 of Meitan Village, and Yuantan Village. Lin 1 and 2 of Qingtan Village are shared with Xindian Elementary School, and lin 16 to 20 of Meitan Village with Beixin Elementary School. For junior high, real-estate listings name Wenshan Junior High School.
In our street photos, greenery ranks 31st out of 100 neighborhoods in New Taipei, in the upper tier; litter and street cleanliness ranks 37th, in the middle tier.
The most practical drawback here is that you need your own wheels to get anywhere. Public transport ranks second from the bottom, in the lower tier. Real-estate listings say there is no rail here, so people rely on buses, cars and scooters; for shopping streets, hospitals and senior high schools you have to go into central Xindian.
Daily shopping ranks 91st, healthcare 93rd and pavements 87th, all three in the lower tier.
Real-estate listings also mention that much of the land is hillside with little room to spread out, and the rainy season is very damp; most estates are 20 to 40 years old, with few new developments.
Between Guangxing and Bitan the Xindian River winds in an S shape, and its wide, deep stretches are called tan, or pools: going downstream there are Tutan, Zhitan, Wantan, Qingtan and Bitan, which together with Meitan and Yuantan are known as the Seven Pools of Xindian. All three village names in the neighborhood, Qingtan, Meitan and Yuantan, are among these seven pools.
Qingtan is also a long-standing administrative name: in 1901 the Jingwei sub-prefecture was divided into four zhuang, one of which was Qingtan Zhuang; in 1920 it became Qingtan oaza. After the war, from 1946, Xindian Town was divided into 20 villages, including Qingtan Village and Yuantan Village.

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.
