Bihua Cloth Street (San Chong Cloth Museum Area) Introduction
During the Qing Dynasty's Xianfeng period, the commercial prosperity of the Tamsui River's Dadaocheng also spurred the development of Sanchongpu. Sanchongpu refers to the present-day Sanchong District and Luzhou District in New Taipei City. For a long time, Sanchong was part of Luzhou Township until it was officially separated in 1947. Due to its convenient geographical location and close proximity to Taipei City, many migrants from other places choose to rent or buy houses here, making it the place with the highest immigrant population around Taipei City. During the economic boom in Taiwan, the phrase "the living room is the factory" was characteristic of Sanchong at that time, with families often engaging in contract manufacturing at home. Due to large production scales, Sanchong has become a significant player in Taiwan's machinery parts industry. If you don't know Sanchong, you might feel that it always appears chaotic; however, after getting to know it, you will find an order to it, and upon becoming familiar, you will feel an immense warmth. Bihua Fabric Street in Sanchong was originally a fabric wholesale area, originating from the concept of thriftiness and resourcefulness. By maximizing the value of scrap fabric, it established a vibrant fabric street through classification, organization, and creative uses.
