Located near the No. 5 Water Gate on the banks of the Tamsui River, Dadaocheng Wharf thrived in earlier years as an entrepot for trade along the river. Tea, cotton and silk textiles were among the main products bought and sold here, attracting trading companies from across the western world. Dadaocheng's fortunes as a trading center went into decline during the Japanese colonial era. In recent years, however, this area has experienced a revival as a tourism destination, bicycling spot, and departure point for boat tours along the Tamsui River.

Nothing to rave about
2018-04the Pier is nothing to rave about. Not exactly an attraction that one would be excited. Can be given a missboonorbane1985

Super hot!
2017-10We went a little after noon so it was really really hot! People were biking around and it's probably a nice hangout place if we went another time. I think it's better to go to Dadaocheng Wharf in the evening. Adding this to my bucket list the next time I go to Taiwan.backpacker31

Take a walk or a bike ride
2018-01The pier is, in my opinion, simply a starting point to explore Taipei from a unique perspective- via a walking/biking path that wends its way along the city’s waterways. At the pier itself, there are boats that offer tours along with benches/seating areas. It’s close proximity to Dihua Street is a plus. The views from the pier are quite nice, especially with the nearby mountains standing in stark contrast to the dense cityscape that dominates both sides of the Tamsui River.palawanismyhome

take a walk by Dadaocheng Wharf
2016-09Dadaocheng Wharf is very near Dihua road so you can explore both places while you are in the area. The wharf used to be the main trading area and boats would leave/arrive with their goods (tea, textiles, cotton and silk, but nowadays it is a place for locals to admire the river and bridges and enjoy a breeze from Tamsui river. There are walking and cycling paths and some huge graffiti just by the main gate . There are severakl interesting sculptures by the wharf, particularly one of an old boat.zalnikor
