It was one of only eight ports in the entire Qing empire that was open to trade with the West. As a result, it became a focal point for trade in Taiwan.&nbsp;It was also the western terminus of the Danlan Old Trail, which was a network of roads and trails that sent tea and other goods from Yilan to Tamsui.&nbsp;It remained an important port until it started to silt during the 1900s and after the construction of Keelung Harbor.&nbsp;<br>There are also a number of important historical buildings in Tamsui such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignersintaiwan.com\/blog-370963385326684\/fort-san-domingo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fort San Domingo<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignersintaiwan.com\/blog-370963385326684\/hobe-fort\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hobe Fort<\/a>, and others.&nbsp;<br>Recently there have been projects from the local government to improve tourism, such as widening roads and making a riverside walkway.&nbsp;<br>With the completion of the Red Line MRT with its terminus in 1997 right at the edge of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignersintaiwan.com\/blog-370963385326684\/tamsui-old-street\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tamsui Old Street<\/a>, Tamsui became an extremely popular destination for residents in greater Taipei and remains so today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to visit Tamsui?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In my opinion, the best weather in Tamsui is from March-May, and October-November, when the temperatures stay around 26 degrees Celsius and there is not as much rain.<br>Summers are also nice, with the most sunny weather, but also hot and rainy.&nbsp;<br>Winters can be cold (but not below freezing) and usually wet.&nbsp;<br>Overall, there is no wrong answer as to what time of year you should visit Tamsui. You will have a great time here at any time of year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hours:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Food stalls are open from roughly 11 AM to 8 PM.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
