Xikou (Rainbow) Pier Introduction
The Songshan area, known in ancient times as "Xikou," was established during the Qianlong period. The Xikou ferry at No. 4 Songhe Street has historically been a hub for trade and the distribution of goods between the north and south, flourishing as a starting port for the development of Xikou culture in the Songshan area. On December 15, 2009, the Taipei City Government completed the construction of the Xikou Wharf to extend the Blue Highway shipping route, enhancing the surrounding waterfront and the scenic landscape of the riverside promenade, and linking the wharf to the pedestrian walkway between the Ji 4 evacuation gate. The Xikou Wharf is also near various attractions such as the Rainbow Bridge, Songshan Ciyou Temple, and Raohe Street Night Market, making it another new tourist landmark that offers both dining and entertainment options.
