Deep into the mountains, at a distance that is neither too far nor too close to the city's commercial districts, lies an excellent choice for a half-day trip. Upon seeing the large eggplant tree at the entrance, you'll know that the old street has arrived. Taking public transportation or buses is also very convenient. Due to its clear water quality and unique salted soy milk production method, the char-grilled tofu has attracted many gourmets, earning it the reputation as the "Hometown of Tofu." This has contributed to the prosperity of the old street. Nestled in the beautiful mountains and rivers, and inheriting the pioneering spirit of the early settlers, the "Four Treasures of Deep Pool" — tea leaves, tofu, bamboo shoots, and black pork — have consistently maintained their high quality, becoming the region's famous specialty industries. The surrounding area actually holds many surprising experiences. For instance, the Deep Pool Huang Residence Yong'anju, one of Taiwan's top ten famous residences; the scenic trails with original natural landscapes, tea aromas, and bamboo groves; and the distinctive leisure gardens and restaurants in Ajiao Yang. Additionally, unbeknownst to many, the pier next to the old street was once a crucial transit hub for tea from the Wenshan area along the Jingmei River, as well as a station on the Danlan Ancient Trail and Tea Road leading to Dadaocheng. In recent years, convenient transportation from the Northern Second Highway and the establishment of well-known hotels have deepened the depth of the travel experiences in Deep Pool. However, Deep Pool still retains a charm that requires a slow pace to fully appreciate its subtle atmosphere; if you rush, you will surely miss the other layer of rustic beauty. This is Deep Pool, where profound cultural nuances are embedded within its industries — a beauty that can be observed in the grandeur of the old street and explored in the serenity of its ancient trails. Therefore, when visiting the Deep Pool commercial district, one must set aside the usual hurried sightseeing mode. After savoring the deliciousness of the Deep Pool Four Treasures, take a stroll into the mountains to enjoy the essence of nature.
