Xikou (Rainbow) Wharf Introduction
The Songshan area, during the Qianlong period, was formerly known as "Xikou." The Xikou ferry located at the watergate of Songhe Street No. 4 has historically been a hub for trade and the distribution of goods between the north and south. It was once a flourishing port that marked the beginning of the 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, along with the renovation of the surrounding embankments and the overall landscape of the waterfront trail, connecting the pedestrian walkway between Xikou Wharf and the evacuation gate No. 4. Additionally, Xikou Wharf is close to notable attractions such as the Rainbow Bridge, Songshan Ciyou Temple, and Raohe Street Night Market, making it a new landmark for sightseeing with plenty of dining and entertainment options.
