Four villages of Dali's old Neixin Zhuang, home to Bama Temple and a rainbow running track
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
This neighborhood is made up of four villages that were once part of Dali's old Neixin Zhuang: Neixin, Rixin, Dongsheng, and Zhongxin, with a combined population of 25,540. Its southwestern border runs along Zhongxing Road Section 2, a street lined with banks — the Dali City Gazetteer calls it Dali's financial center — while big-box stores and electronics retailers sit on the other side of the road. The neighborhood's spiritual center is Xinxing Temple on Xinren Road Section 2, commonly known as Bama Temple ("Eighth Mazu Temple") and shared by six villages; on the days for appeasing Taisui, around ten thousand worshippers come. Neixin Elementary School has a rainbow running track around its sports field; around Dayuan Elementary School to the south, the embankment walls are decorated with koji pottery mosaics.
Medical care here ranks 16th out of Taichung's 47 neighborhoods, so you won't need to travel far to see a doctor. School assignment is straightforward: Neixin Elementary School takes in all of Rixin, Dongsheng, and Neixin Village, while Zhongxin Village belongs to Dayuan Elementary School, whose campus sits right in Zhongxin Village.
Greenery ranks 45th out of Taichung's 47 neighborhoods, in the lower tier. The Dali City Gazetteer also notes that Zhongxin Village lacks parks and green space; residents once transformed Lane 126, Xinsheng Road Section 2, into Orchid Lane. Everyday shopping ranks 29th, in the middle. Real-price listing websites label all four villages as "Dali Centre," the same tag used for two neighboring neighborhoods, so when house-hunting you'll need to check the street names yourself.
During the Qing dynasty, this area was Neixin Zhuang in Lanxing Bao. During the Japanese colonial era, the Water Conservancy Bureau built a dam near Neixin Zhuang that diverted the Dali River's flow into the Hanxi River, so the old course no longer flooded. In 1946, it was renamed Neixin Village. After the August 7 Flood in 1959, the Dali River was rerouted, and the old riverbed was converted into the Zhongxing Drainage Channel. In 1970, Neixin Village was split into four: Dongsheng took its name from the phrase "the sun rising in the east," while Rixin Village's old name, Wangepizai, came from the embankment's shape resembling a crescent moon. In 2002, Zhongxin Village was separated out from Neixin 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.
