History.
Located near the No. 5 Water Gate on the banks of the Tamsui River, Dadaocheng Wharf thrived in earlier years as an entrepot for trade along the river.

During the Japanese rule of Taiwan, the activities around the area declined. In 2005, the Taipei City Government revived the area as a tourism destination, bicycling spot, and departure point for boat tours along the Tamsui River.
