Xikou (Rainbow) Dock Introduction
The Songshan area, known as "Xikou" during the Qianlong period, is located at the Xikou Ferry Terminal at the water gate of Songhe Street No. 4. Since ancient times, it has been a hub for trade and cargo distribution between the north and south, flourishing as the starting port for the cultural development of Xikou in the Songshan area. On December 15, 2009, the Taipei City Government completed the construction of Xikou Wharf to extend the blue highway route, enhancing the overall landscape with the renovation of surrounding embankments and waterfront promenades, and connecting the pedestrian path between Xikou Wharf and the No. 4 evacuation gate. Xikou Wharf is also close to several notable attractions such as Rainbow Bridge, Songshan Ciyou Temple, and Raohe Street Night Market, making it a new tourist landmark with plenty of dining and entertainment options.
