Xikou (Rainbow) Dock Introduction
During the Qianlong era, the Songshan area was formerly known as "Xikou." The Xikou Pier, located at the water gate of Songhe Street No. 4, has been a significant place for north-south trade and goods distribution since ancient times. It once thrived as a 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 Pier to extend the Blue Highway route, renovating the surrounding embankment and waterfront promenade to enhance the overall landscape, as well as connecting the pier to the pedestrian walkway between the No. 4 emergency exit of Ji 4. Additionally, the Xikou Pier is close to notable attractions such as the Rainbow Bridge, Songshan Ciyou Temple, and Raohe Street Night Market, which will make it a new landmark for tourism, offering both dining and entertainment experiences.
