Bihua Cloth Street (Sanchong Textile Museum) Introduction
During the Qing dynasty's Xianfeng period, the commercial prosperity of the Tamsui River's East Dadaocheng spurred the development of San Chong Pu. San Chong Pu refers to the current San Chong District and Lu Zhou District in New Taipei City. San Chong was always part of Lu Zhou Township until it was officially separated from Lu Zhou in 1947. Due to its convenient geographical location and proximity to Taipei City, many migrants from other areas have chosen to rent or buy houses here, making it the area with the highest immigrant population around Taipei City. During the domestic economic boom, the phrase "the living room is the factory" characterized San Chong, where families engaged in product processing in every corner. The large production scale supported a thriving market for mechanical parts across Taiwan. If you do not know San Chong, you might find it chaotic, but upon acquaintance, you'll notice a sense of order, and once familiar, you'll feel an overwhelming warmth. Bihua Cloth Street in San Chong was originally a wholesale location for fabrics, stemming from the concept of frugality and resourcefulness. It aims to make use of scrap fabrics by categorizing, organizing, and creatively utilizing them, which has led to the development of the vibrant Cloth Street. Here, you will find many fresh things waiting for you to explore!
