Taipei Datong District | A retro and leisure experience

#Taipei Itinerary My dears 👋 Today I’m here to share with you a treasured itinerary in Taipei’s Datong District. The retro streets + casual atmosphere are simply a paradise for check-in enthusiasts! 📍Morning: Treasure Hunt in Dihua Street Dihua Street is a treasure street in Datong District, full of retro Nanyang style, and every brick and tile contains the charm of old Taipei. Many Baroque buildings from the Japanese colonial era are preserved here, and all kinds of traditional shops are lined up under the arcade corridors. You can visit an old cloth shop and touch the exquisitely patterned fabrics; or go into a Chinese medicine shop and smell the medicinal aroma that permeates the air. Creative markets are held from time to time on both sides of the street, with handmade accessories and vintage items. Everyone wants to get their hands on each one, and any photo they take will turn out to be a retro blockbuster. 📍Noon: Datong on the tip of your tongue When you are tired of shopping, go and taste the authentic food of Datong District. There are many snack stalls hidden near Yongle Market. You can order a bowl of braised pork rice. The soft and glutinous rice is paired with fat but not greasy braised pork, and topped with fragrant and rich braised sauce. It is super satisfying in one bite. Have another bowl of sweet taro paste ice, the dense taro paste mixed with ice cream will instantly dispel your fatigue. 📍Afternoon: Stroll along Dadaocheng Wharf Dadaocheng Wharf is a great place to relax and unwind, take a walk along the Tamsui River and enjoy the beautiful river view. The cultural and creative space converted from a vintage warehouse on the shore is worth a visit, as it houses many exhibitions and specialty shops. You can also rent a bicycle, ride along the river and feel the gentle river breeze. This is also a good place to take photos and check in. The sunset and ships in the distance form a beautiful picture. 📍Evening: Literary time on Chifeng Street Chifeng Street is full of literary and artistic atmosphere, with coffee shops, bookstores and flower shops scattered along the street. Walk into a retro coffee shop, order a latte and a piece of Basque cake, sit by the window and watch the passers-by on the street. The decorations of the shops on Chifeng Street are very unique, with colorful walls and retro signs. You can take photos with a very atmospheric feeling just by standing in front of the store. Dear kids, please take note of this guide and come to Datong District to start a retro and relaxing trip! #TaipeiDatongDistrict #RetroStreets #LeisureTravel
