About Daxi Old Street

The surviving shop houses combine ornate Baroque-style facades with local decorative traditions. Look above the modern signs to see the shaped parapets, columns and reliefs, then compare those public fronts with the narrow depth of the streets behind them.

Woodworking is another part of the town’s identity. The Daxi Wood Art Ecomuseum gives that craft history a fuller explanation, while shops sell traditional snacks such as dried tofu and peanut candy. Zhongzheng Park adds a river-terrace view at the edge of the old town.

What to look for

  • Heping and Zhongshan roads preserve decorated historic shop fronts.
  • The Wood Art Ecomuseum explains Daxi’s furniture and woodworking traditions.
  • Zhongzheng Park connects the town visit with the Dahan River landscape.
