NOTE: I have omitted articles posted on the 台灣新聞雲報 website. I am extremely skeptical of this news source.
1. That "xin" in the name of the village could easily be translated as "new." It sometimes happens that villages have to relocate after typhoons, floods or other natural disasters and "new" is added to the name of the new settlement. This said, aboriginal place names are sometimes transliterated from the local language, and the "xin" might just be a word from Beinan or some other local dialect. Most likely the "xin" really does mean "new," but I'm trying not to assume too much.
2. I live near this road and yes, parking in this area is becoming an increasing challenge. With new apartment buildings under construction on and near Ssewei Road it's only going to get worse.
