• Dihua Street - The journey begins in the historic center of Taipei, along Dihua Street, where centuries of commerce, culture, and street food converge in a lively stretch.

From the outset, the exploration dives into local flavors, offering a variety of iconic Taiwanese treats such as pig’s blood cake (豬血糕), a chewy sweet-savory street snack cherished by locals, and a comforting bowl of braised pork rice (滷肉飯), often regarded as Taiwan’s quintessential soul food. To complement these, a refreshing cup of herbal grass tea (青草茶), a traditional beverage rooted in Chinese medicinal culture, provides a cooling balance.

• Yong Le Market - Enter the historic Yongle Market, the vibrant core of Dadaocheng’s trading culture and one of Taipei’s oldest markets. Within this beautifully preserved red-brick building, a labyrinth of traditional fabric stalls, fresh produce, and local food vendors awaits, each perfecting their craft over generations.
• Taipei Xiahai City God Temple - Just a short stroll from the lively streets of Dihua, a brief visit to the Taipei Xia Hai City God Temple, one of the city’s most cherished spiritual sites, is made.

Despite its modest size, this temple is renowned for its potent blessings, particularly for those seeking love, protection, and good fortune. Visitors will notice the steady stream of worshippers, the aroma of burning incense, and the intricate details adorning every corner of the shrine.

• Dadaocheng Cisheng Temple - The next stop is the vibrant food scene surrounding Dadaocheng Cisheng Temple Food Street, a local gem that most travelers might overlook.

Here, the focus is on one expertly crafted specialty: a freshly made Taiwanese chicken roll (雞肉捲). Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and bursting with umami flavor, this humble dish perfectly embodies the essence of Taiwanese comfort food.
