Taipei Golden Age Free Walking Tour
Overview
The roaring twenties was a colorful period in which the cultural heroes of each country shined. As Pablo Picasso is to Spain, Ernest Hemingway is to the U.S., Coco Chanel is to France, and so is everything that prospered around Taipei North Gate and Dadaocheng to Taiwan.
This Golden Age Tour walks you through where Taiwan’s literati and artists once gathered and gives you a peek at how Dadaocheng has transformed over the years into a creative hub where traditions clash with innovations.
Join the tour and relive the Golden Age of Taipei with us.

- Taipei Xiahai City God Temple
- Dihua Street
