Located in Shuangxi District, New Taipei City, Shuangxi Old Street lies near the local spiritual center, the Sanzhong Temple. Its hallmark is the intact preservation of vintage architecture, including the century-old Lin Yihe Tang Chinese-medicine shop, the nearby Zhou Family Ancestral Hall, and the Shuangxi Presbyterian Church. In its heyday, Chang-an Street bustled with shops lining its short span, its far end once serving as the old ferry dock.
Unlike the crowded Shenkeng or Pingxi old streets, Shuangxi Old Street offers a tranquil, lived-in atmosphere—perfect for slowing your pace and appreciating these nostalgic buildings on foot or by bicycle. As you explore the town’s tucked-away shops, you may discover unexpected treasures!
