    Dihua Street

    Dihua Street is one of Taipei’s oldest trading streets, with roots going back to the Qing dynasty. It has long been a centre for tea, herbs, dried goods, and fabrics, and many of those family run businesses are still operating today. We walk you through the parts locals actually use, meeting real vendors and tasting everyday foods. You experience the smells, sounds, and small details that make this street feel alive and genuinely local, not staged for tourists.
