I have lived in Tamsui nearly 20 years, and have taken a lot of photographs of the area. I also have become familiar with the quirks of the history of the area. So I’m looking to share my love of Tamsui with a wider audience. It’s got a lot of history in a condensed area worth exploring on a day trip.
Tamsui is one of the top travel destinations for the 10 million visitors to Taiwan each year. It’s an easy one day trip with a lot to offer visitors who are interested in history of East Asia, Taiwan’s culture, or just having a fun day out. I believe that there’s a lot more worth visiting than just the Old Street, the Fort, and the Market (most people’s experience)…
If there were any place in Taiwan that could absorb a visitor’s entire day and more, that’d be Tamsui in New Taipei City. Come with me to Tamsui, experience its cultural heritage and find out why it’s creating a real buzz for visitors! So this article explores a little of the historical and culture influences on the area.
