Visit the Former Residence of Tada Eikichi

The Former Residence of Tada Eikichi is located halfway up the Puding Hill, facing south with a slope behind and a steep embankment in front. The elevated site offers a panoramic view of the Tamsui River and Guanyin Mountain. The original site was the farmland of Xuehai Academy during the Qing Dynasty. This residence is built with red cypress wood, and the rain boards on the exterior walls, the black tiles on the roof, and the flat beam ceiling inside the house are still preserved to this day. It was also one of the earliest residences in the Tamsui area to have running water, marking a significant milestone in the development of Taiwan's water supply system at the time. This historical significance is one of the most commemorative values of the residence. The Former Residence of Tada Eikichi was designated as a historic site in April 2005 and is now a designated historic site in New Taipei City. 📍Address: No. 19, Mackay Street, Tamsui District, New Taipei City, 251 🕰️Business Hours: 09:30–17:00
