[2025 New Taipei City Attraction] Travel Guide for Shenkeng Old Street (Updated Apr)

As a stinky tofu lover, Shenkeng Old Street is a must-visit attraction. In fact, the old street is not very long. It can be walked through in about 15 minutes when there are few people. The old street is mainly food, and a small number of shops have traditional flavors, so it is recommended not to stay too long. There is a public parking lot here, which is much cheaper than private parking, so give priority to finding a public parking lot when visiting. It is also the mechanical parking lot closest to the entrance of the old street. Because the sign is not obvious enough, you usually have to check first before you can find it. The streets are clean, and there are trash cans in the middle of the road. Since most of the food is snacks, remember to throw them into the trash can after eating! Recommended food list: 1. Shenkeng stinky tofu: I ate at two restaurants and the taste was similar. The stinky tofu here is smelly, but it doesn't make your mouth feel bad when you eat it. I think it is a good experience for stinky tofu beginners. If you are afraid of the smell and dare not try it, Shenkeng stinky tofu is recommended. They are grilled, brushed with a special sauce on the outside, and cut in half with kimchi or sauerkraut in the middle. They are a portable delicacy that can be eaten on the go. 2 Zongzi: It is amazing that on this old street, besides stinky tofu, zongzi is the second most popular item, and the items are very detailed, there are both southern zongzi and northern zongzi. I bought some of each to eat. As a southerner, I can say responsibly that their northern zongzi is delicious and magical. I have not eaten this kind of flavor in the south and personally cannot accept it, so I recommend the northern zongzi. 3 Sweet purple rice cake: There are a lot of cold cakes sold along the whole street. You have to look carefully for sweet rice cakes. Usually, cold cake shops sell them, but be sure to ask the price first. Personally, I don't recommend cold cakes because I think the skin has no taste, and the filling is semi-finished red bean paste, which is very sweet but not delicious. So to say it's sweet is not the same as to say it's not sweet, but it's also weird. I can only say that it doesn't suit my taste. I regretted buying two boxes and gave them away. However, the sweet purple rice cake I bought by the way was unexpectedly delicious, so I recommend this little supporting role. 4. Chicken butt (Seven-Li Xiang): The Seven-Li Xiang at the entrance of the temple always has a long queue and is a favorite of locals. I don’t dare to eat the butt, so my friend who was traveling with me gave it a good review after eating it, saying it was "juicy, super big, and fragrant." He said that he had never eaten such a big chicken butt, so friends who like Seven-Li Xiang can give it a try. The above are the delicacies I recommend. As for which ones, except for the chicken butt shop at the temple entrance, the others are almost the same. No matter which one you buy, be sure to ask the price first. There are also many restaurants here. You can come and try the traditional flavor dishes when you have time. Address: Shenkeng Street, Shenkeng District, New Taipei City Business hours: 9:00-21:00

Shenkeng Old Street can also be called Tofu Street. In addition to many different types of tofu, you can also taste many other delicacies here, such as Hakka stir-fried dishes, taro balls and traditional snacks. ． In addition, there are many natural landscapes around Shenkeng Old Street, where you can enjoy delicious food while appreciating the beautiful scenery. The red brick streets of Shenkeng Old Street are very distinctive because the local red bricks are made from stones mined from nearby stone mines. Therefore, these red bricks are darker in color and stronger. Walking on the street, it feels like traveling through a time tunnel and you can feel the strong nostalgic atmosphere! #TaipeiAttractions#OverseasTravel

The footsteps that have been sealed for 3 years👣 must be on a revenge trip Sham Hang - In the past, Yong Kong Street used to invest a day to eat, eat, eat This time I plan to #Shenhang Old Street + #Raohe Night Market Take the bus 🚌 to the walk, 10 stops, 10 minutes without washing 🫣 Upon arrival, it was less crowded than I had imagined (only kittens🐱).

There's every kind of tofu you can think of, like fried stinky tofu, grilled stinky tofu, spicy stinky tofu, fragrant tofu, fermented tofu, etc... There are really too many choices. You can walk around and then decide what tofu you want to eat~ Every time I go to this old street, I always queue up to buy 'Qi Li Xiang' (which is 🐔 butts) to eat~ It's really delicious😋 Of course, you also have to queue up to buy grilled stinky tofu to try. These two small stalls are right in front of the temple in the old street😍 If you have the chance to go there, you really must try it~ In the old street, you can also try tofu ice cream. I really don't know how to describe the taste, it's just delicious and refreshing haha🤭🤭 After eating all the tofu you want, on a cold day you must have a bowl of spicy duck xue. This spicy duck xue may look very oily, but its duck xue is really amazing👍 So tender it melts in your mouth~ (Maybe because I haven't had anything tastier, that's why I'm so fond of it😅) haha Business hours: 09:00–21:00 (Monday to Sunday, varies by restaurant, pay attention) Address: Shenkeng Street, Shenkeng District, New Taipei Ci

Today, Xiao Ou and I drove to Yilan (Fusenli Mountain) for afternoon tea. We came back in the evening and passed by Shenkeng District. Xiao Ou drove me to Shenkeng Old Street for a stroll. When I saw (Chiayi Pavilion), I couldn’t help but walk in and it felt antique. .I thought it was because he was from Chiayi, the same hometown as me. But it turned out not to be. It was because the well-known general shop owner was named Chiayi. Haha😆What a beautiful misunderstanding. In the end, I ate delicious food. (Shrimp and tofu rolls) Kung Fu dishes are so delicious😋 (Tofu soup) A must-eat food. It tastes great👏👏👏. The fried flower branches are delicious😋. A great restaurant. Worth recommending to everyone

The sumo-grade charcoal-grilled osmanthus is a must-visit when visiting Shenkeng Old Street. Each piece is plump and has no strange smell. It also has the aroma of grilled fat and charcoal fire. Although there are some bones, it does not affect my love for food. There is a long queue as soon as I buy it. It can be seen that osmanthus is one of Taiwan’s national delicacies. Friends who have the opportunity to come can try it! 👍 Address: No. 135, Shenkeng Street, Shenkeng District, New Taipei City Business hours: Closed on Wednesday Parking information: There is a paid parking lot outside #TaiwanBeautiful #Old Street Food #Seven-Lixiang

#Taiwan Local Tour Shenkeng is an area in Taipei City famous for its quaint old streets and delicious snacks. Here, there is a restaurant that I must visit every time I come here, and that is Hongcheng Fresh Soup Dumplings. The owner of this restaurant immigrated from Shanghai. He combined Shanghai's traditional soup dumplings with Taiwan's specialty stinky tofu to create a unique and delicious flavor. Hongcheng Fresh Soup Dumpling’s signature dishes are steamed stinky tofu and stinky tofu soup dumplings. Steamed stinky tofu is made by steaming fresh stinky tofu in a bamboo basket, then pouring the boss’s homemade sauce on it and adding some coriander and chili. The advantage of doing this is that the original flavor of the stinky tofu is retained without being too greasy or too dry. The steamed stinky tofu has a soft outer skin and a dense inner part. It has a rich and mellow aroma that makes people want to eat a few more bites. The boss's sauce is made of broth, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, etc. It is sweet, sour, and a little spicy, and very appetizing. Stinky tofu soup dumplings are made by cutting the stinky tofu into small pieces, wrapping them in thin skins, and then steaming them in a bamboo basket. Each soup dumpling is full of juiciness and aroma, and will burst out hot soup when bitten into. The skin of the soup dumpling is springy and won't break or stick together. The filling of the soup dumplings is made with pork, mushrooms, green vegetables and other ingredients. The meat is tender and fragrant. The combination of stinky tofu and meat filling is very harmonious, neither competing with each other in taste. After eating a soup dumpling, you can dip it in the provided shredded ginger and black vinegar to enhance the flavor. The steamed stinky tofu and stinky tofu soup dumplings at Hongcheng Fresh Soup Dumpling are my favorite dishes. I have to eat a bowl of them every time I come to Shenkeng. If you also want to try this wonderful combination, come to Hongcheng Fresh Soup Dumplings!

#TaiwanTravel #Oldstreet #Shenkeng #StinkyTofu #TaipeiTravel When thinking of Old Street in Taiwan, the first place that everyone thinks of is probably Tamsui Old Street, right? But this time, we will introduce another Old Street that is both interesting, charming, and worth visiting. “Shenkeng Old Street” How to get there: If you want to take a single bus, you can take bus number 660, which can be boarded from MRT Beimen or MRT Ximen. *But this bus line comes rarely, so leave plenty of time so you don’t have to wait for a long time. Things to do: Stinky Tofu, Stinky Tofu, Stinky Tofu, Stinky Tofu, Stinky Tofu, everyone! I’m not kidding. Because they are really famous for stinky tofu. When I got there, the smell of stinky tofu was everywhere (lol) Let me make it more serious~ Actually, these are the interesting things: 1. Stinky tofu (that's it) and I recommend trying the shop with a lot of people queuing up. And ***Please eat it grilled or roasted. The smell is at the level that we can accept the most. If you want to try boiled, prepare some water to wash the stump. 🙀 2. There are old-fashioned tea shops that you can try for free all along the way. 3. There are more Taiwanese people than tourists, so you can really describe Taiwan. 4. You can go out and play on the bridge to see the view of the mountains, rivers, and the sunset. 5. I recommend trying the sausages. Normally, they sell them for 40 baht per stick or 3 sticks for 100 NTD. Summary: Shenkeng is another interesting place and still maintains the Taiwanese identity well. There are many delicious foods and the atmosphere is good. But the downside is that it is quite far from Taipei and there are not many buses. So, "you have to check the bus schedule carefully".

Are you a tofu lover like me? I love all kinds of tofu, from beancurd to dried and fried stinky tofu! So of course I couldn't miss a day trip to Shenkeng, the tofu town of Taiwan. I took a bus from Taipei and 1.5 hour later, I alighted at the entrance of Shenkeng Old Street. The entrance to the old Street is marked by a huge tree and traditional style houses. The shopping street isn't too long but has plenty of shops and restaurants selling different varieties of tofu and tofu products. As it was lunch time, I ventured into a crowded restaurant claiming to sell the best tofu dishes and I was not disappointed:) I ordered fried stinky tofu which was fried to perfection, steamed stinky tofu that came with dried shrimp and salted vegetables, and a hotpot of tofu, blood tofu and pork intestines. Everything was delicious! I also bought some dried beancurd as souvenir as I left the Old Street to take the bus back to Taipei. Overall, Shenkeng is an accessible and heaven for foodies! Make sure to visit this cultural gem on your next trip to Taiwan! #taiwan #foodie #tofu #daytrip #taipei #ancienttown #culture
