A residential school district along the Liuchuan River, home to NTCU and Zhongxin Elementary
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Willows line both banks of the Liuchuan River, light and dark greens running along the embankments, and the river is the eastern edge of Gongmin Village. Gongmin Village was originally home mostly to civil servants and teachers, but shops have gradually multiplied, most residents now work in commerce or services, and newcomers keep moving in. To the north is National Taichung University of Education; its front building is the old normal school building completed in 1928. Residents of neighboring Pinghe Village usually go onto the campus to exercise.
Sidewalks rank 7th of Taichung's 47 neighborhoods, this neighborhood's best ranking. Zhongxin Elementary School sits beside the cultural and education district of the art museum and the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and its teaching makes use of the Liuchuan River and the Meichuan River, the Cultural Affairs Bureau and the museum. Lanxing Village has three parks, Lequn, Lanxing and Gongguan, where residents relax mornings, evenings and on days off. Seeing a doctor is easy too: healthcare ranks 11th.
This neighborhood is only four villages, about 81.6 hectares, squeezed between the Art Museum Parkway and Taichung Station neighborhoods. There is no station inside it: TRA Wuquan Station is about 215 meters outside, and Taichung Station about 1.3 kilometers. Greenery ranks 35th of Taichung's 47 neighborhoods, in the lower half.
The Liuchuan River was originally called Qiucuo Creek, or Qiudalao Canal, and Taichung's earliest streets grew up along it; it was renamed Liuchuan under the Japanese-era urban plan of 1916. Taichung Normal School was re-established in 1923, and its front building was completed in 1928; it was registered as a historic building in 2004. In 1946 the Eastern gouache painter Lin Chih-chu began teaching at the normal school and moved into its dormitory on Liuchuan West Road, where he painted until he moved out in 2006; the dormitory is now a registered memorial building. Zhongxin Elementary School was founded as a branch school in 1956 and became an independent school the following year. In 1969 Lanxing Village was split off from Gongguan 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.
How to read it: yellow = poor, blue = good; grey = not enough data
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.
