Shennong Old Street

Many believe Shennong Old Street, formerly known as Beishi Street, to have the greatest preserved traditional street architecture in Taiwan. This working-class neighborhood was a commerce hub during the Qing Dynasty, where various items were bought, sold, and kept.

After a period of decay, the street began to be gradually restored in the mid-1990s. The roadway was repaved, new lighting was installed, and some buildings along the street were restored to their former glory. This process is still ongoing, with some of the structures now housing galleries and tea houses.

There is still much work to be done, but Shennong Old Street provides a rare glimpse into how Tainan used to be.
