When you think of Dadaocheng, what comes to mind? Groceries, traditional Chinese medicine, New Year's goods? Dadaocheng, thriving through commerce, has, over the ages, been a land rich in goods, shops, and culture. Have you ever felt a mixture of curiosity and regret as you approached its once-bustling streets? Follow the official Pokémon GO route, and every alleyway and turn you explore, even at a fleeting moment, could reveal a forgotten local story.
Dadaocheng is a place where the old and the new blend, revealing the invaluable value of its cultural heritage! The long, traditional street houses, originally built to adapt to climate and demand, have been restored and renovated in a historic setting, retaining their original character while infusing them with the spirit of Deyang and breathing new life into them.
If you want to experience the most authentic Dadaocheng flavor, you must forage in the alleys of Xiangzai Street and South Street. When you turn onto the bustling main street, time seems to slow down. There is no hustle and bustle of tourists here, only the craftsmanship and aroma of artisans that have remained unchanged for decades. The stalls frequented by locals in the bustling gatherings all serve the most authentic taste of old Taipei: braised pork rice that melts in your mouth, heart-warming pork rib soup, a line of heartwarming desserts, savory and fragrant old-fashioned salted rice cakes... and what about those hidden delicacies in the neighborhoods, waiting for you to discover? At the end of the guided tour route, not only are you filled with stories and memories, but you can also get a "Pokémon GO" event-themed postcard exclusive to this guided tour.
