About Tamsui

People on the street of Tamsui.
 Tamsui, a cultural district with 400 years of history is located at the estuary at the Tamsui River with the historical name, "Hoba". The name "Tamsui" comes from the fact that the place was originally a river and a vital location for vessels to replenish "fresh water". Therefore, westerner’s historical documents began to use Tamsui as its name and utilized the location as a transit point for East Asia Commerce. Thus, Tamsui has become an important commercial port in the north of the island since the 17th century, facilitating the development of the Tamsui District.
