Oldest and historical section of Taipei
Architecture of this area has been preserved by conservationists. Walking this 100 year old street is like walking a museum. It is now a mix of modern interior design for many stores yet continuing the old in others. Modern Dihua St is one of the most commercially active areas of Taipei with transactions in excess of 3 billion US (tea, medicinal herbs, incense, fabrics). This street reminded me of a huge Chinatown within the city, with its medicinal stores, dried foods stores, teas, candies. Coffee and tea shops abound. There are also many fabric stores in the area leading up to Dihua St. There is a temple where locals were burning incense and saying prayers. The temple offered a delicious free tea of wolfberries and red dates. Inside an old building was a small farmer’s market selling fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood. It didn't appear to be very busy. There is also a theatre in this district for traditional performing arts like shadow puppetry, opera performances weekends. There are also a couple of museums which I did not visit. I really enjoyed walking this street for viewing the ancient architecture of each building, each so very unique in design, above each store. Dihua Street is a must visit for anyone to fully appreciate the origins of Taipei. The shopping is excellent too. To get to Dihua St, take metro to Beimen green line metro stop, exit #2 and walk straight along Tacheng Road, many blocks, until you come to Dihua St sign at a major intersection. -

Interesting antique buildings and nice walk
A good place to go for a walk. Contains a market, shops housed in antique buildings and new buildings. While the street is mainly selling dried food, there are interesting shops selling Chinese new year decor, snacks, food and tea. If you are staying near Taipei Main Station, you can walk to Dihua Street from Taipei Main Station which is about a 30 mins walk from the station. -

A mix of old and new shops
It is still the place to go for Chinese medicine, herbs, and sundry shopping before the Lunar New Year. But here and there, we find some new dessert shops, coffee shops, etc. And yes, there are plenty of preserved fruits and chinese tea too.
