[2025 Taipei Attraction] Travel Guide for Dadaocheng Wharf Container Market (Updated Jun)

Dadaocheng has always been the place that feels most like the New Year to me. I still remember the year I sold New Year's goods here; the entire street was bustling with people, and the sounds of vendors calling out filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere. That period was filled with busyness and joy. Watching customers' satisfied expressions as they selected their New Year's goods, I could feel their anticipation for the New Year. Now, every year-end, I still return to Dadaocheng to experience the bustling and vibrant streets. Walking along the New Year's Goods Street, seeing the creative products from new shops, and tasting familiar snacks, the familiar lively atmosphere still remains vivid in my memory.

Autumn is here 🍂 In cool weather, drink a cup of coffee and watch the sunset at the pier Super healing 🌇 It's great to have a place like this in Taipei where you can go for a walk. At night, the container house will also have beautiful night lights Full of atmosphere❤️

Riding a bicycle along the bicycle path to Dadaocheng accompanied by the afterglow of the setting sun, I felt that autumn was coming. Looking at the sunset in the sky, it seemed as if it was telling the end of summer. I was swallowed up by the autumn mercilessly! The cool evening breeze blows gently, and you won’t feel tired even if you pedal a few more times. If you have the chance, you can go and feel it, and experience the happy but also a little melancholy mood of early autumn!

Dadaocheng Wharf is not far from Dadaocheng and is considered a special performance area. There are many small containers along the river bank, and each space is a small world. There are cultural creations, delicious food, and more dreams🥰 I really like to enjoy the riverside scenery while enjoying the atmosphere created by people. There is no crowd, and there is more laziness of natural tolerance ❤️ The big Minion puppet can be seen from a distance, and many people stop to take pictures and check in📷 What attracts me is Dali's installation art. The crazy Dali becomes clear and visible when facing himself🪞 At the end, there is a penguin family. Although they never talk, they always occupy a place in everyone's childhood. There are many delicious restaurants, and what is special is that there are seats on the second floor, so you can enjoy the whole river from a higher angle. Or if you like to be close to the river, there is a large seating area set up next to it, which is also a kind of comfort ❤️ This section is also very suitable for bicycles. If you have the opportunity to walk here and experience the different riverside styles, I'll be waiting for you on the left bank ❤️❤️

Dadaocheng Container Terminal Market is a unique market that combines hipster style with port style. It is located on the river bank and has a broad view and a leisurely atmosphere. The entire space is dominated by a container house, with light strings and wooden decorations, creating a relaxed and design-rich atmosphere. The best time to go there is in the evening, when the setting sun is reflected on the river surface and the Tamsui River view in the distance makes the scene particularly charming. There are many cultural and creative items, handmade stalls and special foods in the market, which is suitable for treasure hunting, taking photos or dating and dining with friends. The atmosphere after the lights are turned on at night is even more amazing, giving people the illusion of being in a foreign town. The overall environment is clean and tidy, the music is melodious, and there are live performances and theme activities from time to time, which gives people different surprises every time they visit. It is a great place to take a relaxing walk on the weekend and enjoy the Taipei riverside scenery.

I asked online before but couldn't find anywhere that sells tea blended coffee latte? Because I find it hard to give up the tea-flavored latte at Xingbo Coffee since I started drinking it🤣 Later, many coffee experts and netizens recommended this coffee shop, and today I finally have the opportunity to try it. I ordered "Gardenia Tea Cappuccino Latte" and "Black Tea Wine Cappuccino", which were really impressive. The black tea wine also has sake 🍶 It has a very Japanese feel, and next to it are Dihua Street and Dadaocheng Wharf. It has a particularly nostalgic style, making people feel particularly relaxed and comfortable while sipping coffee here. ⚠️However, the address is just for reference, because the landmark of this store cannot be found on trip.com. Wait for the official website to put it up! ☕️Store name: ODOC 🕰️Business hours: 1-8pm, closed on Mondays and Tuesdays 📍Address: 1F, No. 421, Lane 423, Minsheng West Road, Datong District, Taipei City 💰Average consumption: around NT$200-600 (depending on the à la carte or set menu 4shot series😆) 💡I also recommend the desserts, they are delicious! #CraftsmanCoffee #Japanesecafe #DadaochengCafe #AfternoonTeaTime #CoffeeshopExploration #TaipeiCafe #TaipeiCafeRecommendations

This flash mob will be held in Taipei for three days and two nights. I deliberately didn't take the MRT and tried to complete the journey by ubike Bicycle rental is very convenient. I originally planned to visit the old street and then just ride my bike randomly to the seaside park. I found a container market, but it was not open in the afternoon. I could only watch the sea and enjoy the sea breeze and continue riding my bike. I returned to Ximending and had dinner. A simple day passed. 📍Address: Dadaocheng Market 💰Average consumption: zero

#November Good Places 2024 #Dadao Pier #Taipei Mandarin Oriental Hotel 261124 (Lower) The guesthouse is located across the street from Dadao Pier. There is a roast duck shop 🦆 opposite the pier entrance. It smells so good and attractive! The dock is not big. There are about a dozen containers decorated in a colorful way. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery by cycling at the riverside, or have a drink at the container market to chat and taste exotic food! On the way, I passed by Guiji Street and saw a shop selling marshmallow pork legs🐷🦵. There were a lot of people queuing up🚶🚶🚶, it shouldn't be bad! Then take the car to Dunhua Road Ikea, through the Little Arena and Mandarin Oriental Hotel, many stars come to Taiwan mostly will stay, especially the stars participating in the Golden Horse Awards, but I went there just finished did not have the opportunity to meet!

At the end of June, I went to the Dadaocheng Wharf Market with a French friend. The evening breeze was blowing gently, and the whole market was shrouded in the warm light of the sunset. We each ordered a can of beer, sat by the river, and enjoyed the beautiful sight of the sunset slowly sinking into the Tamsui River. The slight bitterness of beer and the softness of the sunset blend together, and the tranquility of this moment makes people forget the hustle and bustle of the city. Such an evening, sharing the beautiful scenery and fine wine with friends, is one of the most pleasant memories of the trip. #Dadaocheng Wharf #Taipei Sunset #Travel Memories #Beer Time #Taiwan Scenery #100 Types

The scenery at Taipei's Dadaocheng Wharf is very unique, with many shops selling New Year goods; unfortunately, the timing was wrong, and if you go there on the weekend, you will encounter a market and fireworks show, so I recommend that you visit on the weekend! In addition, the small stalls around are also recommended, especially the peanut milk smoothie! 🥳🥳

Recommended itinerary 1. Dihua Street Dihua Street presents the simple and ancient side of Taipei. The buildings on this street are mainly made of red and gray bricks, as if you are strolling among the historic Baroque houses and experiencing the nostalgic atmosphere. In addition to various creative shops selling handicrafts or special souvenirs, there are also shops specializing in selling various dry goods, which are suitable for purchasing New Year's goods or giving gifts. You can also try a variety of Taiwanese delicacies here, such as dan zai noodles, braised pork rice, etc. If you want to take a break after shopping, there are many coffee shops nearby that offer different drinks and desserts for you to relax. Address: Dihua Street, Datong District, Taipei City 2. Dadaocheng Wharf Container Market This is a market popular with locals, located next to Dihua Street and a must-visit attraction in Dadaocheng! If you like gourmet food, you can find exotic food such as skewers, Okonomiyaki, and egg waffles here. If you like tasting fine wine, you can find unique cocktails here. Specially recommend "No worries cafe"! At that time, the boss asked me to try several cocktails and then let me choose my favorite flavor. It has up to 15 cocktails for you to choose from, with prices ranging from NT$100-280. You can always find the drink you like. I chose the "Poison Apple" at that time. It tasted sweet and easy to drink. After drinking one cup, I wanted to drink more (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎) There is also a river view next to the store, which is a good place to have a drink. In addition, many people take a stroll or ride bicycles along the river, which is very relaxing. This is definitely a great place to relax!

I left for Taipei right after the New Year, but the atmosphere was still very New Year here. The shop owners were all very friendly. This place combines culture and art. It is a good place for both leisure and fun.
