🏝️ Da Dao Cheng island tour
#islandtour #100WaysOfTravel
A leisure tour around the island will be using the boat transportation mode at Da Dao Cheng Pier. It is the best way to sail on the Tamsui River. You also can sail on a hot day if the weather is good, no typhoon rain since there is shelter on the boat. There are many significant bridges along the route and heritage architecture along the way. You can also see many Ma Zu temples as She is the protector of the sea. If your time permits then choose the sunset cruise or take the package deal which come with drinks.

🛍️ Da Dao Cheng Pier Dock night market
#nightmarkets #100WaysOfTravel
A vibrant area at Da Dao Cheng Wharf, this is a container market style right beside the river. It is open in the day time until night time. When the weather is cooling, it is a good time to come over in the day time for less crowd. From evening onward, this night market area will be crowded. It is more like a dining by the river concept and there will be fireworks performance on selected days too. I recommend to climb up the stairs to the top of the container and enjoy a drink while looking out to the river.

Dadaocheng Wharf
Dadaocheng Wharf Plaza has portable toilets, beverage vending machines, and a water dispenser next to the bike rental area. On weekends, there are many vendors, creating a lively market atmosphere. If time permits, you can also take a boat trip on the Tamsui River.
From Shuanglian MRT Station, head towards Minsheng West Road and walk straight to reach Dadaocheng Wharf. Dadaocheng is located in Datong District, Taipei City, and got its name from the large open spaces used for drying rice.
In the late 18th century, with the opening of Tamsui Port, Dadaocheng became the most prosperous commercial center in Taipei, serving as a hub for tea and fabric trade. Today, despite its historical changes, Dadaocheng remains a distribution center for traditional Chinese medicine, groceries, and fabrics on Dihua Street. It blends century-old architecture with new cultural and creative shops, exuding a unique vitality in the fusion of old and new. A beautiful and bustling place, highly recommended.

The Flowing Light of the Waterfront, Whispering of Time
Strolling along Dadaocheng Wharf feels like stepping through a portal of time. The afternoon sun casts its rays on the surface of the Tamsui River, creating a shimmering scene where water and sky blend seamlessly, exuding a serene tranquility. Along the riverside path, art stalls and quaint coffee shops stand quietly, as if narrating the city's past glory and present leisure.
Standing at the wharf, watching the boats slowly sail by, the river breeze gently caresses your face, bringing a faint salty scent that evokes the breath of where the river meets the sea. In the distance, the setting sun begins to paint the sky red, its golden afterglow reflecting on the river, with ripples dancing in the wind like ancient boat songs softly singing in your ears.
As night falls, the lights of the wharf gradually illuminate, with twinkling stars reflecting in the water, complementing the neon lights of the city across the river. This ancient wharf is not only a witness to Taipei's history but also a modern haven for relaxing the mind. Dadaocheng Wharf, a river filled with memories, quietly flows with its own stories.
