| Yung Ho City is about 2km south of Taipei City, so it is basically part of the city. It is one of the biggest ‘suburbs’ of Taipei with a population of 240,000 people. Althought it is a big city, it is still a homely place with a small town feeling, where people are friendly and get to know you. Each street offers a variety of shops, eateries, and various other places you may want or need. You can find an internet café on about every block, places to eat are everywhere, and if you venture down a quiet looking alley, you might find a restaurant that will become your favorite. Unexpected surprises are around every corner. |

| Location |
| Yung Ho City is very close to Chung Ho City, and the two combined is one big area known as Shuang Ho. Most of our teachers live in Chung Ho City, as it is very convenient to get around in Shuang Ho. It doesn't matter where you live in Shaung Ho, there will be a bus stop close to your house with a bus that will take you to your branch or an MRT (Mass Rapid Transport Sytem or Subway) station, or even Taipei city. The MRT goes all over Taipei, and the orange line, runs through Shuang Ho. There is a bus stop right in front of the branch, and the bus will take you to Dingxi or Ching-An MRT station, or you can walk to Yung An Market station, a 10 minute walk. So, just take the correct bus and you can go anywhere in Taipei County, and it's one of the most economical ways of getting around. . Most teachers have an Easy Card, which is a prepaid card for the bus and MRT, and is very practical. A bus ride is only NT$ 15, and a MRT ride between NT$20 – $40. |

| Housing |
Housing in Shuang Ho is less expensive than Taipei City, and it's only 10 minutes from the City. Most teachers live in studio apartments or share with other teachers. A lot of the apartments come with furniture or furniture is past on from one teacher to the next.
But if you want to buy your own furniture, there are a lot of second hand furniture shops, and other stores that sell furniture at reasonable prices.
Most of the teachers in Shuang Ho area work at 2 branches, as our branches are only a 5-minute bus ride from each other. This allows you to work with a bigger variety of people, and to get to know more of the teachers in our area. BCC is a well-organized, friendly and helpful branch to work at. |
