[2024 Taipei Attraction] Travel Guide for Bopiliao Historical Block (Updated Dec)

รีวิวจุดถ่ายรูปสไตล์จีน Bopiliao Historic Block 🏮

Today, I would like to invite my friends to take photos at a new check-in point at Bopiliao Historic Block, an outdoor venue that holds exhibitions in Taipei, Taiwan. On the day we went, there was no exhibition. Bopiliao became a public park for people to come and sit, walk, and chat. It is a hangout place for teenagers and the elderly to relax and unwind. I think this place is very interesting because the decoration style is retro, ancient Chinese, with red bricks and Chinese red lanterns decorating the entire park. No matter how you take a photo, it will definitely look beautiful. I recommend going early in the morning so that you don't have people in your photos. Opening/Closing Hours: 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM, Closed every Monday Coordinates: Lane 173, Kangding Rd, Wanhua District, Taipei City, Taiwan 108 #TravelTaiwan

Bopilao Historic Block is historic city block in Taipei featuring traditional 18th century architecture. It was constructed way back during the Qing dynasty.

Walking Through Time: A Stroll in Bopiliao Historical Block

Stepping into the Bopiliao Historical Block feels like crossing a threshold into a century-old Taipei. The weathered red brick walls are etched with the marks of time, and the ancient arched doors and wooden window frames quietly tell tales of past prosperity. In the narrow alleys, the stone-paved roads convey a slight chill underfoot, while sunlight filters through the gaps in the buildings, casting dappled shadows. The well-preserved old shops evoke images of the bustling activity and lively chatter of yesteryears. Small exhibition halls at the street corners display precious old photographs and artifacts, piecing together a complete picture of history. As you stroll through, it feels as if you can hear the calls of porters and the laughter of children from the past, evoking a sense of nostalgia that makes you pause and savor the moment.

Bopiliao Street... Taipei.

Bopiliao Historic District is located in the Wanhua District of Taipei City, not far from Longshan Temple. This area played an important role in the early history of Taiwan and was one of the early markets and commercial centers in the region. The interpretation of the name Bopiliao varies, including processing of tree bark or animal skins. There are many traditional buildings and historical sites preserved here, including ancient streets, buildings, and shops. These buildings reflect the early architectural styles and lifestyles of Taiwan, attracting many tourists to appreciate them.

The appearance of Taipei's old district

📝 Taiwan Travelogue part3: Bopiliao Historical Block 📝 🎞🎞🎞🎞 Seeing the words 'Bopiliao' in Bopiliao Historical Block might make one's liver tremble, mistaking it for some World War II concentration camp site. In fact, Bopiliao is just the name of the best-preserved Qing dynasty street in this old district. 🖼🖼🖼🖼 As for why it's called Bopiliao, it's hard to trace back. It might be because this place was where tree bark was peeled, or there might have been a factory for processing animal hides, or it could simply be a result of various homophonic evolutions. In any case, it's a street that has nothing to do with being scary. 📷📷📷📷 The whole block is not very large, with a length of only about 300 meters. The buildings are still there, and some exhibitions have been set up. Perhaps because it was still the Chinese New Year holiday, many shops were not open. The surrounding area includes Longshan Temple and some old district markets. It feels like it's not particularly recommended unless one has a special sentiment for Mengjia.
