Xikou (Rainbow) Wharf Introduction
During the Qianlong period, the Songshan area was historically known as "Xikou." The Xikou ferry at the No. 4 sluice gate on Songhe Street has been a hub for north-south trade and the distribution of goods since ancient times, once thriving 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 the Xikou Wharf to extend the Blue Highway route, enhancing the surrounding waterfront and the overall landscape of the waterfront promenade and connecting the pedestrian path between Xikou Wharf and the No. 4 evacuation gate. Additionally, Xikou Wharf is close to attractions such as the Rainbow Bridge, Songshan Ciyu Temple, and Raohe Street Night Market, offering dining and entertainment options that will become a new touristic landmark in your heart.
