I heard someone say, "Taipei has changes and remains unchanged. If Taipei remains unchanged, it means "holding on the standpoint and not being moved by others", which is also worthy of encouragement. This passage is written in the Western Restaurant on Boli Road in Dadaochengjie District. It is the first Western Restaurant in Taipei. It now has two branches, and the old stores are still as hot as yesterday. This was visited on the second day after I arrived in Taipei, under the leadership of Vicky's sister and a few friends. There are quite a few such stores in Taipei, and these are all accompanied by the beautiful memories of generations.
Maybe this is exactly what Taipei persists.
chatted and walked, and in a few minutes we came to the old street selling north and south goods [ Dihua Street ] Dihua Street is about 800 meters long and is the most complete old street in Taipei City. Thanks to the prosperity of Dadaocheng, Dihua Old Street was a distribution center for goods such as north and south goods, tea, Chinese medicinal materials, cloth, etc. Nowadays, there are still old shops selling these goods on both sides of the old street here. Many ancient Chinese medicine stores, north and south dry goods shops, tea, cloth shops, etc. are preserved intact on the entire street.
There are various ingredients on the old street, and there are also traditional Chinese medicine shops that can get medicine. It is said that the shops here are very famous, which is probably one of the reasons why they are very popular now. The dozens of exquisite old buildings passing by are arranged neatly on both sides of the road, and the appearance combines southern Fujian and Western architectural styles. It is not difficult to see the prosperity and glory of this area back then on the exquisitely decorated old buildings.
[Xiahai City God Temple] But the famous old street in Dihua, and several books who come to Taipei will come here to worship. It is said that the City God worshipped in City God Temple was 1821 Tong'an County immigrants invited from Xiacheng City God Temple in Xiadian Township, Tong'an, Fujian. In the early stage, they were placed in the Jintongli Cake Shop of Bajiazhuang. In 1853, the famous "Dingxia Suburbs" (that is, the Dingxia Suburbs dominated by Jinjiang , Hui'an , and Nan'an and the lower suburbs dominated by Tong'an people had a classification fight in order to win the interests of Meng'an Pier). In the end, the Tong'an people were defeated, snatched the golden body of the City God from the fire, retreated to Dadaocheng, and placed it in Dadaocheng from then on.
Today, the incense in Xiahai City God Temple is full of popularity, and believers are endless. Of course, they must also follow the customs of the countryside and bless the whole family with joy and health.
If you go to Taipei, don’t miss Dadaocheng. Look at the rise and fall of Dadaocheng and the growth of Taipei. You can see where the city was, present and future! When you walk into this architectural community, the feeling of reunion with history is hard to describe in words.
Dadaocheng Wharf on the banks of Tamsui River still maintains its appearance back then. , the Tamsui District, opposite the Tamsui River, is a new urban area developed later. The MRT (metro) closely connects it with the old city on the other side and is inseparable.
