The story

Dadaocheng Summer Festival in Dadaocheng Wharf

The Dadaocheng Summer Festival is staged at Dadaocheng Wharf along the Tamsui River in Taipei's historic Datong District, featuring evening fireworks over the river, market stalls and outdoor gatherings through the summer weeks, set against the neighborhood's 19th-century trading-port heritage.

Dadaocheng was once one of the most important trading ports in Taipei, a 19th-century waterfront where tea and textiles moved through warehouses now converted into shops, cafes and heritage buildings along the neighborhood's historic streets.
