Da'an

Da'an, its name means great peace, is widely considered the most desirable place to live in Taipei, balancing central convenience with a leafy, cultured calm. At its heart lies Daan Forest Park, a 26-hectare green lung that locals call the Central Park of Taipei, ringed by some of the city's most expensive apartments. The district is also Taipei's intellectual heartland, home to National Taiwan University and Taiwan Normal University, giving its cafes and bookshops a studious, creative energy. For food lovers, Da'an is unmatched: Yongkang Street near Dongmen MRT is a pilgrimage site for the original Din Tai Fung and Yong Kang Beef Noodle, while the lanes around the universities hide countless cafes and izakayas. Residents prize the district for its walkability, mature tree canopy and refined neighborhood feel. Like all of Taipei, rental yields are low, but Da'an's enduring desirability makes it one of the most stable property markets in Taiwan.
