Xinyi Road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Xinyi Road (also called 2nd Blvd) is an eastbound one-way arterial forming a one-way couplet with the nearby Renai Road (3rd Blvd), connecting the Zhongzheng district with the Xinyi district in Taipei, Taiwan.

Xinyi Road is known for the location of the original Din Tai Fung dim-sum restaurant, which is famous for its Taiwanese dumplings, and as the location of the world's tallest building, Taipei 101. In recent years, landscaped medians separating traffic have been added, along with a contra-flow bus rapid transit lane.

Its western terminus is at the traffic circle/intersection of Zhongshan Road, Ketagalan Boulevard, and Renai Road. Near the eastern termius, there is a new interchange with the new Xinyi Expressway, a new highway connecting Xinyi Road in the Xinyi district to the National Freeway No. 3 in the Muzha district. Currently, Xinyi Road is being reconstructed for Taipei MRT's new Xinyi Line, which travels underground from the southern terminus of the Danshui Line to the future eastern terminus of the Neihu Line.
