Xisheng in south Xinzhuang, around Minan W. Rd, in the Guanghua and Minan school areas
Xisheng is a settlement in the southwestern part of Xinzhuang District, and it's also the most densely populated residential area in southern Xinzhuang, centred around Xisheng Street and Minan West Road. Guanghua Elementary School, Minan Elementary School, the Xisheng Branch Library, and Xisheng Park are all here.
Xisheng doesn't have an MRT station, but there are more than a dozen bus routes connecting it to downtown Taipei, Banqiao, and Sanchong. Minan Road, running along the northern edge of the neighbourhood, is home to the busiest commercial district in southern Xinzhuang. For healthcare, this neighbourhood ranks 39th out of 40, though Xintai General Hospital on Xinshu Road is located right within Xisheng's own Xisheng Village.
Overall, this neighbourhood is on the weaker side among New Taipei's 40 neighbourhoods: it ranks 40th out of 40 for everyday convenience, and also 40th for transportation. There's no MRT here, so commuting means relying on buses or riding a scooter/bike. Xinshu Road is Xisheng's main road, and it's lined with industrial areas. The neighbourhood is also a long strip about 3.3 kilometres long, and its southern end already borders Shulin, falling within the school catchment area of Wenlin Elementary School in Shulin District — so when house hunting, make sure you know exactly which section you're looking at.
Early settlers cultivated land along what is now Minan West Road; from the late Qing dynasty through the early Japanese colonial period, this area was Xisheng Zhuang under Baijie Bao. In 1920, it was reorganized as Xisheng Oaza, with two smaller divisions underneath: Xisheng and Jiuzilin. After the war, the Xisheng Industrial Area and the Touqian Industrial Area were established, marking a key turning point in Xinzhuang's transformation from an agricultural town into an industrial city. Every year on the 19th day of the tenth lunar month, there's a procession for Baoyi Dafu, commonly known as the Xisheng Grand Festival.
