Discover the spiritual and mercantile roots of Taipei in this interactive tour of the city's oldest neighborhoods. The day begins with a guided stroll through two outstanding temples before heading by bus to Dadaocheng, a neighborhood where shopkeepers selling dried seafood, herbs and other traditional Chinese items have plied their respective trades for generations. After eating, we’ll head deeper into the neighborhood for a lesson in DIY handicraft making, some sidewalk fortune telling and a visit to a tea refinery. Our Vintage Taipei tour will give you a backstage pass to Taipei's history and a new perspective on the rich origins of our beautiful city.
