[2025 Taipei Attraction] Travel Guide for Dihua Street (Updated Mar)

I love Taiwan, so I'd like to introduce you to Dihua Street, one of the areas I always visit. It's always featured in guidebooks as an area lined with dried food stores and retro buildings. The center is always crowded, but if you go a little further in, the people suddenly disappear and there are many places where you can take nice photos. There are also several general stores with Taiwanese patterns, and cute sweets stores that make traditional Taiwanese sweets into a modern style, so you can enjoy eating while walking around. There are also many stylish cafes where you can enjoy Taiwanese tea. There are shops that will pour you hot water as many times as you want, and shops where you can enjoy afternoon tea, so I always have trouble deciding which shop to go to. If you walk down a side street for about 5 minutes, you will find a spot where you can see the Tamsui River, which is especially recommended at sunset. Please go to Dihua Street, where you can easily get to the next station after Taipei Station, Beimen Station, in about 10 minutes on foot, and feel the essence of Taiwan. ☺️ #Overseas seasonal places

The charm of Dihua Street in Dadaocheng lies in its historical warmth. Every alley and every weathered red brick wall seems to hold countless touching stories. Dihua Street Old Quarter – This is the soul of Dadaocheng. Walking under the red brick arcades, you can see century-old herbal medicine shops, grocery stores, and tea houses, feeling the strong traces of time. It is recommended to walk slowly, savor the experience, and even step into the old shops to chat with the owners and listen to their stories about this land. Old House Cafes in the Alleys – In recent years, Dadaocheng has blended cultural creativity with a retro style. Many old houses have been transformed into unique cafes. Address: 103, Section 1, Dihua Street, Datong District, Taipei City, Taiwan

Today is my last day in Taipei! It felt like I was blessed with divine assistance, as I managed to visit all the important spots without missing a single one. Perhaps because I was traveling alone and didn't spend much time taking photos, my efficiency was super high. 🗺️Itinerary Starting from the Rainbow Taipei photo spot at Exit 6 of Ximending, I then went to Longshan Temple, followed by a visit to Xiao Wang Stewed Melon, which is very close to Longshan Temple. Next, I headed to Dihua Street, had lunch at Take Village Izakaya, went to Elephant Mountain in the afternoon, visited Taipei 101 in the evening, and ended my day at the Feminist Bookstore. ⚠️Notes Longshan Temple has a prayer guide, so don't worry if you haven't done your homework beforehand. Besides Take Village Izakaya and Elephant Mountain being great spots for photos with Taipei 101, the Taipei City Government location is actually better! (But I was lazy, and I already had a lot of content to post today, so I didn't go in the evening). The view from the top of Taipei 101 is similar to Hong Kong's Sky 100, so I didn't spend money on the observation deck. The Feminist Bookstore is a bookstore focused on feminism, so those interested can check it out. 💬Travel Thoughts I walked the entire way from Ximending to Dihua Street. Since I spent most of yesterday on transportation and didn't get a chance to walk around and explore, I missed out on many great little eateries. So today, I forced myself to take less public transport🚌. Strolling through the streets in the morning and hiking up Elephant Mountain in the afternoon in 30-degree heat, I can't remember the last time I pushed myself so hard, sweating profusely. 🍽️Food Experience The advantage of walking is that you can easily find small shops you want to eat and drink at. I tried Hong Rui Zhen sandwiches, Louisa Matcha Latte, 50 Lan Four Seasons Spring Tea, Xiao Wang Stewed Melon Pork Rice, and Fishbone Egg Cake. I basically ate everything I wanted in Taipei, and I couldn't fit any more food in my stomach. I hope to find even more delicious food at my next stop🙏.

🍡 At Nourishing Wagashi in Taipei, you can experience a unique Wagashi tea ceremony. For only NTD 250, you can enjoy strawberry daifuku, Taiwanese black tea and Japanese manju. This place attracted friends from South Korea, who came to Dadaocheng specifically to look for this famous store. My friend originally wanted to buy a box of souvenirs, but the strawberry daifuku were sold out, leaving only the sold-out signs. The clerk told me that if I wanted to buy it, I had to line up at 5 am. I personally think that although it's delicious, there's no need to queue up so hard to buy a whole box (unless you particularly like it). There are many other souvenirs to choose from in Dadaocheng! A set menu is available on site, allowing you to taste the strawberry daifuku, paired with steamed buns and tea to satisfy your taste buds. Tasting a single piece is enough to satisfy you. ʕ˶'༥'˶ʔ 📍 Address: No. 247, Section 1, Dihua Street, Datong District, Taipei City 🚇 Transportation: 10 minutes walk from Exit 1A of Daqiaotou MRT Station ⏱️ Opening hours: 9am-6pm ▫️Payment method: Only credit cards are accepted, no cash 🏠 Store name: Nourishing Japanese Confectionery #Loudly recommend local food #Taipei store exploration #Taipei cafe #Dadaocheng #Must-eat in Taiwan #Taipei travel #Taiwanese food #Taiwan Taipei #Taipei food #Strawberry

#familytravel #100WaysOfTravel A family friendly place to travel in Taipei is at Di Hua Street. It is an area which is nearby the popular tourist area, Xi Men Ding.

It is about 800 meters long and there are many old architecture remain standing, many authentic Taiwan snacks and souvenirs and even nostalgic games for the young children and big adults. #taiwan #taipei #traveltips #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

In recent years, Dadaocheng has become my first choice for finding local snacks. Friends who come to Dihua Street to worship Yue Lao and seek marriage on the eve of Qixi Festival can also taste sweets and cold drinks to cool off. I recommend a store close to Chenghuang Temple 🌟 Yongle Market - Pure Tofu Pudding ✔️ Sugar-free tofu pudding NT.60 plus his signature rice cake and pure rice dumplings are very healthy and not sweet. The tofu pudding must be made with barley, which is super dense! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : 📍No. 55, Minle Street, Datong District, Taipei City #Market Food #Local Food #Dadaocheng Food #Strawberry Daifuku #Cooling Down the Heat #Herbal Tea

Many people who visit Taiwan want to buy this "fisherman's bag" It's called this in Japan because it's woven using nylon thread, which is also used for fishing lines!

#台灣都市景點 I really like the word citywalk. Although this word has become popular now, I still believe that only by setting foot on the ground can you feel the breath of the land. Bopiliao on Dihua Street in Dadaocheng, Taipei is my first choice for citywalk. —⛩Location Google map, multiple transportation options are available. You can get off at Taipei Main Station, walk through Taipei Underground Mall, and exit from Exit 3 of Zhengzhou Road.

#台北景点 Who among my family members understands! After finishing my business in Taipei, I met up with an old friend whom I hadn’t seen for a long time at Dihua Street to reminisce about the past. I was strolling along the street, enjoying the leisure time, and unexpectedly I came across a superb little shop on the corner! The door of this store is very narrow, less than one meter wide, and it is easy to miss it if you don't look carefully. But when I walked in curiously, I was amazed by the scene in front of me! It's like a paradise inside, completely different from the hustle and bustle outside, quiet and comfortable. Wooden tables and chairs, warm yellow lights, and soft music create a perfect atmosphere. We simply sat down, ordered a few drinks, and spent a lazy, tipsy afternoon. Chatting and drinking at the same time is comfortable and relaxed. Here, time seems to slow down, and you can enjoy the relaxation that belongs to urbanites. If you are also in Taipei, you might as well come to Dihua Street for a stroll.
