Xikou (Rainbow) Pier Introduction
The Songshan area, known in the Qing Dynasty as "Xikou," has historically served as a hub for trade and commerce between the north and south of Taiwan. The Xikou Ferry, located at No. 4 Songhe Street, has been a vital point for the distribution of goods since ancient times, marking the beginning of the rich cultural development of Xikou in the Songshan area. On December 15, 2009, the Taipei City Government completed the construction of the Xikou Wharf to extend the Blue Highway route, enhancing the surrounding waterfront and the overall scenic landscape with a pedestrian walkway connecting Xikou Wharf and the Ji 4 Evacuation Gate. Additionally, Xikou Wharf is in close proximity to prominent attractions such as Rainbow Bridge, Songshan Ciyou Temple, and Raohe Street Night Market, which together offer a blend of dining and entertainment, promising to become a new landmark for visitors.
