daxi old street

长长的老街.逛得过瘾.老房子古色古香.保留得很完整.有特色.最令人欣喜的有很多在地小吃.美食.最不能错过的是各式各样卤豆腐.豆干类食品.够入味.便宜.好吃.既大块朵颐.又享受逛街怀旧气氛.

假日车潮、人潮非常多，没有耐心的人建议不要前往，大多是在卖吃的，虽然两旁的房子看起来有历史感，但假日除了人群、摊贩也看不到别的了。

听说大溪老街是当年蒋介石很喜欢去的地方。里面的小吃真的很多有我最爱的红豆饼，各式各样的豆制品，麻糬……当然在台湾到处都是吃的。但是这里最有特色的就是两边建筑的屋梁上的各种石头雕饰，每家每户都是不一样的！

保存了许多老街卖点..."立面"，来此一游不可错过立面上见证繁华历史的的雕饰，相较起商业化日甚的淡水老街，大溪多了份古朴，尤其入夜后点点昏黄灯光，适合夏日散步至河畔公园小憩。老店里的地瓜饼，麦芽糖，三角汤圆糯米肠延伸至桥头的咖啡店，都是我在这里不忘的美味。

台湾的老街都很像，大溪老街的优点是有慢慢在改变，像是附近的大桥晚上像彩虹一样发光但至于到很俗气，老街巷弄间走走会发现一些不错的餐厅，不过老街上卖的小吃等等没什么特色，全台的老街大概都是那个样子。

走在老街上,放眼都是豆干,那当然要试一下,刚好走到这定就先试下,反正每家卖的好像都差不多,点了豆干跟百页豆腐,很好食丫,特别是那百页豆腐,配上酱油跟香菜,真的很好食,口感跟味道都可借没有包装好的可以买回家!可能是平日,所以很多店都没开了,有点失望吧,但旧建筑还是值得一看~

1. 有名的麻糬换个店面位置，竟然就没有人排队了。(这样是好吃还是不好吃呢?)2. 有名的三角大汤圆....ㄜ....3. 主街道上的摊贩渐渐的都待不久，更动率快。4. 大肠圈可以试试5. 有名豆干的热卤.....ㄜ....6. 街道走到底下楼梯，可以看到溪边风景，俯瞰真不错。有体力的，就走下去再爬上来囉~

附近有很多景点很不错，而且也有很多吃的东西，也都蛮好吃的，有大溪豆乾，豆花，花生糖，百年油饭，都是值得推荐的

Our first stop for our trip to Taiwan in December 2014. It was very unfortunately that on our arrival it was raining thus the street is of empty of locals and tourists. There are numerous shop selling various form foodstuff, snacks, goodies, deserts and other items. The buildings are old but well kept and we was charm by the sight. A rather peaceful place to visit and observed that the people beside keeping dogs as pet, we saw one with a pet pig. Spoken to the shop keepers and they told due to the rain, most of the shops are closed. If not we can witness charm of the old street of Daxi. Enjoy the beauty of the old building, shop front and even temples. Don't go to this place if is raining (walkway quite narrow and no shelter to link facross the alley) or too early in the morning. Best time to visit is in the evening.

We do not find anything interesting about this place perhaps because we are not shopper. They sell quite a few woody handicrafts may be because this place was famous for carpentry. We found a local noodle store which serve nice and cheap food though.

Went for a drive to have a look at this place and it is nothing special. We walked through the area in under 30 mins. Was a long way to go for nothing. Shops in the street selling food and other bits and pieces.

Daxi (Ta Shee) Old Street is located at Taoyuan on the way to the airport. It is a long street with lots of old buildings with ancient architectural style. There are lots of antique stores, toufu shops, shops selling incenses and sandalwood, souvenir shops, shops selling traditional cakes and cafes etc. Look out for the many Chinese temples dotted along the street. We were there in the morning, hence most of the shops were closed. The shops usually open from 11 am onwards till late at night. Walk all the way to the end of the street and take in the sight of the mountain-side over looking the bridge and river-bed. Avoid festive seasons as there are many Chinese temples there which will be crowded during important Chinese festival. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring an umbrella in case of sun or rain.

Daxi old street is still not too bad.....but I would not rate it as an excellent placeInteresting due to the existence of the old shophouses which dated back to Qing dynasty, despite many shops were already "redesigned" facade and I doubted those were designed by the time during the Japanese occupational era.The best thing about Daxi is its Tofu shops.Not far from the Daxi old street , there is a Japanese era bushido hall which is now used as part of Daxi town council building.

A scent of the old Taiwan.A lot of firecrackers during one the many festivals on a hot and sticky Sunday.Better avoid it if there is any Chinese celebration in sight!

Daxi is a lovely mountain town some 30 miles outside Taipei towards the Taoyuan International Airport. It retains the "old style" ambience of a bustling Taiwanese village with shops and restaurants to delight all. If you have the opportunity to visit this enjoyable place you should find a taxi to take a 15 minute ride up into the hills to an authentic Taiwanese farm restaurant "Chicken Cuisine" telephone 03-38823333. There we enjoyed one of our best meals in decades with fresh farm chicken and vegetables all served in a crowded, rustic farm setting.
