• Daxi Old Street is one of the few well-preserved Baroque buildings in northern Taiwan. The Baroque architectural style was popular during the Taisho era of Japanese rule. In old streets such as Heping Road and Zhongshan Road, each business combines Baroque lavishness and traditional Minnan decorative patterns, including Greek mountain tops, Roman columns, and Chinese fish, bats and other auspicious patterns, forming a unique feature of Daxi. What is commendable is that despite the decline of river transportation and the changes in prosperity, these three old streets have been able to retain their original appearance and combine the charm of other cultures and history of Daxi, allowing Daxi District to return to its past glory. Following the footsteps of our predecessors, you will also have the opportunity to see many traditional Taiwanese snacks and experience Taiwanese children's toys, especially Daxi dried tofu, mooncakes, peanut candy, tofu pudding, bowl cakes, glutinous rice balls, etc., which are all authentic Taiwanese delicacies that cannot be missed! Coming here is like returning to the early Republic of China. The various antiques and snacks on the old street can accompany you through an intellectual time.
