Bihua Cloth Street (Sanchong Cloth Museum Area) Introduction
During the Qing Dynasty's Xianfeng period, the eastern Dadaocheng district of the Tamsui River thrived in business, which also spurred the development of San Chong Pu. San Chong Pu refers to the present-day San Chong District and LuZhou District in New Taipei City. San Chong has always been affiliated with LuZhou Township, and it wasn't until 1947 that it officially became separate from LuZhou. Due to its advantageous geographical location and proximity to Taipei City, many migrants choose to rent or buy homes here, making it the area with the highest immigrant population around Taipei City. As the domestic economy took off, the phrase "living room as factory" characterized San Chong at the time, with many households engaged in subcontracting. Due to the large scale of production, it supported the entire mechanical parts industry in Taiwan. If you are unfamiliar with San Chong, it may seem chaotic; upon first encounter, you will discover an underlying order, and once you become familiar with the area, you will feel an immense warmth. Bihua Fabric Street in San Chong was originally a wholesale location for fabrics, born out of the concept of conservation and frugality. It aims to maximize the value of scrap fabrics by sorting and creatively utilizing them, thereby creating the charm of Fabric Street. Here, there are many fresh things waiting for you to explore!
