The Shenkeng Old Street (Chinese: 深坑老街; pinyin: Dàxī Lǎojiē) is an old street in Shenkeng District, New Taipei, Taiwan.

History

[edit]

In the 1980s, local residents campaigned against the demolition of the buildings along the street as part of the proposed road widening and redevelopment project. In 2010, a large-scale restoration project began. The management committee of the old street was established in 2014. In 2013, a regulation regulating the management of the old streets in New Taipei was enacted, enabling the committee to collect funds to preserve the heritage buildings of the old street.[1]

Features

[edit]

The street is famous for its tofu-related food, such as tofu gourmet, tofu snacks and tofu popsicle from various types of tofu.[2][3]

Transportation

[edit]
