New Taipei Itinerary Recommendation | Tamsui Old Street Half-Day Tour Guide: Sweep the old-fashioned food under the blue sky and white clouds one by one!

There are so many good places to visit in New Taipei that I have difficulty choosing~ This time I recommend a relaxing and authentic half-day tour route - Tamsui Old Street! It's super convenient to play around from Beitou. Don't reserve too much time, enjoy the Chill vibe of the nostalgic town of Freshwater in a leisurely afternoon with blue sky and white clouds. What is the fun of walking around Tamsui Old Street? The best thing is of course the street sweeping! 😋

The highlight of the itinerary is not just the food! The old streets are full of characteristic old-fashioned small shops. It's perfect for a slow stroll while walking. There is also a popular super long ice cream. You can wait for the sunset while eating. Remember to take a photo! If you prefer leisure, nostalgic atmosphere and street sweeping experience, Tamsui Old Street is definitely the first choice.

📌 Trip tips / real experience
- The road along Tamsui Old Street is very long, in fact, no special plan, many restaurants and small views are piled in a main street, very easy to stroll; it is recommended to reserve 1.5-3 hours to enjoy slowly.
- Half-day tour If you walk around Beitou, the time arrangement is definitely enough, especially the clear blue sky and white clouds are even more beautiful.
- Eating ice cream and waiting for the sunset is super atmospheric, the sunset is between about 5:30-6:30 pm (slightly fine-tuned according to the season).
- The old street is more crowded, wear comfortable shoes, bring an umbrella (very sunny during the day), also note that some restaurants need to wait.

🚗 Transportation guide
- By MRT: From Taipei City, take the MRT Red Line directly to Tamsui Station, exit the station and walk along Zhongzheng Road for 2 minutes to the entrance of Old Street.
- You can also park at the nearby parking lot by car, but it is prone to overcrowding on holidays.

🍽️ Food tips
- A-Gee shops are ready-made, waiting times vary, it is recommended to go during non-lunch peak hours.
