Bihua Cloth Street (Sanchong Cloth Museum Area) Introduction
During the Qing Dynasty under the Xianfeng Emperor, the business boomed in the Dadaocheng area along the Tamsui River, which also drove the development of San Chong Pu. San Chong Pu refers to the present-day San Chong District and Lu Zhou District in New Taipei City. San Chong had always belonged to Lu Zhou Township until 1947 when it was officially separated. Due to its convenient geographical location and proximity to Taipei City, many migrants chose to rent or buy houses in this area, making it the place with the highest immigrant population around Taipei City. When the domestic economy took off, the motto "living room as factory" became the trend in San Chong, with many families engaging in product processing at home. However, due to large-scale production, they could support the entire mechanical parts industry in Taiwan. When you first encounter San Chong, it may seem chaotic, but upon getting to know it, you will find it orderly, and once you become familiar with it, you will feel an immense warmth. Bihua Fabric Street in San Chong was originally a wholesale location for fabrics, originating from the concept of thriftiness, utilizing scrap fabric to organize, categorize, and creatively apply to develop the fabric street's charm. There are many fresh things waiting for you to come and explore!
