Xikou (Rainbow) Pier Introduction
The Songshan area, during the Qing Dynasty, was formerly known as "Xikou." The Xikou Ferry at the location of the water gate on Songhe Street No. 4 has been a hub for north-south trade and goods distribution since ancient times, flourishing as the starting port of the rich cultural development of Xikou in the Songshan area. In 2009, the Taipei City Government completed the construction of the Xikou Wharf on December 15 to extend the blue highway route, while also renovating the surrounding waterfront and leisure walkway landscape, connecting the pedestrian path between Xikou Wharf and the Ji 4 Evacuation Gate. Additionally, Xikou Wharf is near several notable attractions such as the Rainbow Bridge, Songshan Ciyou Temple, and Raohe Street Night Market, making it a new tourist landmark for both dining and entertainment.
