Itinerary

  1. Tamsui Old Street

    10 min

    Start your walk at Tamsui Old Street in Tamsui District. Just open the app nearby to begin exploring a riverfront timeline where colonial ambition now competes with fish balls and souvenir capitalism.

  2. Stop 2

    Passing by

    Pause outside the market hidden temple entrance and look up at the swallowtail roofline, proof that local faith does not need neon to feel undefeated.

  3. Stop 3

    Passing by

    Admire the red brick Gothic façade from the street, a missionary legacy built to look European while quietly learning how to survive Taiwanese weather.

  4. Tamsui Customs Officer's Residence ( Little White House)

    Passing by

    Stand outside the white arches and raised porch of the Little White House, where tax collectors somehow ended up living in what looks like a coastal villa.

  5. Fort San Domingo

    Passing by

    Gaze at the stubborn red walls of Fort San Domingo, a compact crash course in Spanish, Dutch, Qing, and British priorities, all arguing in brick.

  6. The Tamsui Customs Wharf

    10 min

    Walk along the waterfront stones and imagine the old port roar, because this calm riverside stroll used to be paperwork, power, and global trade with sharp elbows.

  7. Douglas Lapraik & Co.

    Passing by

    Wrap up your tour at Douglas Lapraik & Co. Take a moment to enjoy the sturdy trading house façade and the river air before ending your walk at the spot where a shipping monopoly once basically held the town’s keys.
