Dihua Street

#summervacay Dihua Street in the historic Dadaocheng area of Datong District, Taipei, is an 800-meter heritage market street offering a vivid blend of tradition, history, shopping, and culture. Established in the 1850s, originally called Centre Street, Dihua Street became a major trading hub for tea, Chinese herbs, fabric, incense, and dried goods thanks to its proximity to Dadaocheng Wharf. Many buildings feature well-preserved Qing-era, Fujian-style, and Japanese colonial architecture—with red-tile roofs, arched arcades, carved facades, and vintage shopfronts. #travel #couplestrip
