The experience
The spine of Dadaocheng, cut in the 1850s by Quanzhou merchants who moved their trade here, and still only 7.8 metres wide. Section 1 is the oldest and narrowest stretch, lined with shophouses dealing in Chinese medicinal herbs, dried goods, incense materials, fabric and tea. Four architectural eras stand shoulder to shoulder along it: single-storey Minnan tile roofs, Western arcades copied from the 1870s Tamsui trading posts, Baroque parapets and flat 1930s modernist fronts.
Taipei's oldest working trade street, where the wholesalers who built the city still open at dawn.
