The old soul of Taipei lives here — from the spiritual temple streets of Wanhua to the mercantile legacies of Dadaocheng. Discover the spiritual and mercantile roots of Taipei, walking from Wanhua's ancient temples to Dadaocheng's storied tea houses.

Begin your journey in Wanhua, the very neighborhood where Taipei was born. Visit Longshan Temple, one of Taiwan's most revered places of worship, and step into Bopiliao Historic Block — a preserved stretch of Qing Dynasty streetscape that offers a rare window into the city's earliest days. From there, make your way to Herb Lane for a one-of-a-kind herbal tea experience: a customized hand-brewed blend crafted just for you, rooted in generations of Taiwanese folk medicine tradition.

In the afternoon, a private shuttle takes you north to Dadaocheng — once the commercial heart of Taiwan's tea and textile trade. Stroll along Dihua Street's elegant Baroque storefronts and step inside a beautifully preserved 1930s tea merchant house, where your guide will bring the era of tea merchants and foreign traders vividly to life. The day ends in Dadaocheng, where the evening is yours — whether you choose to explore Ningxia Night Market or settle into one of the neighborhood's atmospheric bars.
