Local guide

01First impressions

Qiaohe Station is a stop on the Circular Line, located on Bannan Road between Zhongshan Road and Qiaohe Road, close to the Erbazhang Industrial Zone. The station itself sits in Zhongyuan Village, and the neighbourhood only takes in that small patch around it; the bulk of the housing is actually in Bihe Village and Pinghe Village just south of the station. Shuanghe Hospital and Jinhe Sports Park, both to the south, sit right outside the neighbourhood's border.

02What works

Shuanghe Hospital, just outside the neighbourhood, was upgraded to a medical center in March 2024. For street-view building appearance, it ranks 19th, putting it right in the middle among New Taipei's 40 neighbourhoods. Six villages within Jinhe Elementary School's basic catchment area fall inside the neighbourhood, though the school itself is in Jinzhong Village, just outside.

03Heads-up

Public transit ranks 31st, toward the lower end among New Taipei's 40 neighbourhoods — Qiaohe Station is the only MRT stop in the neighbourhood, and it sits right next to the Erbazhang Industrial Zone. Sidewalks rank 35th, also near the bottom, so watch your step when walking around.

04A bit of history

Qiaohe Station opened in 2020 when the Circular Line began service, with the Erbazhang Industrial Zone right beside it. The April 2024 Hualien earthquake shifted the tracks on the Circular Line's Banxin-Zhongyuan section, forcing Qiaohe Station to close, and service didn't resume until December 12. Nearby Jinhe Elementary School is also fairly young, only established in 1985. Shuanghe Hospital, built in 2008 just south of the neighbourhood, was Taiwan's first hospital developed under the BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) model.

05What's coming

The first phase of the Wanda Line is scheduled for completion by the end of 2027, according to the timeline released by the New Taipei City Department of Rapid Transit Systems. Liancheng Jinhe Station on that line is being built underground on Liancheng Road, just east of Jinhe Road, right inside the neighbourhood.

How are these measured?

Compared against the New Taipei neighbourhoods in this guide; metrics without enough data are not ranked. Shopping counts convenience stores plus the nearer of a supermarket or a traditional market (public and private retail markets); night markets, vendor zones and shopping-street shops are not counted. Transit is rail-first with a lower weight for buses.

TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. About data limits
