Residential Yonghe around Xiulang Elementary, beside the Xindian River
Xiulang is a long strip of residential area in the southeast corner of Yonghe, bordering the Xindian River dike on the east, with Huanhe East Road Sections 2 to 4 marking the eastern boundary. The best-known spot in the neighbourhood is Xiulang Elementary School, located in Minquan Village. There's no MRT station within the neighbourhood boundaries; the closest is Xiulangqiao Station on the Circular Line, at the intersection of Jingping Road and Chenggong Road, which is already in Zhonghe District, about 0.6 km from the neighbourhood boundary.
Healthcare access is convenient, ranking 5th among New Taipei's 40 neighbourhoods. Daily shopping ranks 14th, which is middle-to-upper among the 40 neighbourhoods, meaning you can generally find what you need for daily life within the neighbourhood. All 12 villages in Xiulang Elementary School's basic school district fall within this neighbourhood, so kids don't need to cross into another neighbourhood for school.
Public transport ranks 35th, which is toward the lower end among New Taipei's 40 neighbourhoods, and since there's no MRT station within the neighbourhood, you'll need to walk out to a station outside the boundary to commute. Street-view cleanliness ranks 40th—dead last among New Taipei's 40 neighbourhoods—making it the weakest aspect of this neighbourhood. Fuhe Sports Park to the north and Xiulangqiao Station to the south are both outside the neighbourhood boundary, so when house-hunting, be sure to check which facilities actually count as being within this neighbourhood.
The Yonghe area was once the territory of the Luilang, a branch of the Ketagalan people; household registers kept by the Dutch from 1641 onward already recorded a 'Xiulang Settlement'. In 1709, the Chen Laizhang Reclamation Company was granted permission to develop the Taipei Basin, including the Xiulang area, marking the beginning of Han Chinese settlement here. When Yonghe drew up its urban plan in 1955, it originally envisioned seven large parks in the style of a garden city; the site planned for Park No. 5 later became Xiulang Elementary School and surrounding housing. In April 1958, Yonghe was separated from Zhonghe Township to become its own town, though the boundary between the two wasn't finalised until 1960. Xiulang Elementary School was founded in 1976, and by 1986 it had 11,319 students, making it the largest elementary school in the world at the time. When the Circular Line opened in 2020, Xiulangqiao Station outside the neighbourhood was named after the Xiulang Bridge, which opened in 1951—and the bridge itself took its name from the Xiulang Settlement.
