A half day trip in Dadaocheng with Sustainable Tourism way is very meaningful for me, we walked from Beimen to Dadaocheng Wharf. I admired the scenery at the wharf, the overcast sky not making it the best weather but good for a walk! Some tourists cycling around the wharf made us want to try too, but all the U-BIKEs were already rented out.

Later, we set off on foot towards Dihua Street. Sandy and Hope told me it's a place for Lunar New Year shopping, so we avoided the busy season. The entrance to Dihua Street was blocked off to cars; it was a pedestrian-only zone. Everyone walked along Dihua Street using the most environmentally friendly mode of transportation.

Xiahai City God Temple is situated on Dihua Street. We first admired its architectural style from the outside, which differed from the other buildings along Dihua Street, reflecting the traditional Taiwanese temple style. Crowds of pedestrians and tourists had already gathered outside, and the temple staff were assisting in maintaining order and explaining the history and culture of the temple. I tried to follow the tradition of offering incense, but the smoke made my eyes and throat uncomfortable, preventing me from getting too close. Thankfully, a temple staff member came to help me put the incense in.

Later on, we noticed an exhibition inside the tourist center and decided to go in for a visit. On the second floor, there was an antique tailor's shop offering a service to try on ancient clothing, which could be reserved online. It allowed us to experience the attire of ancient Taiwan. Next to it was a traditional teahouse. Through the teahouse's windows, we could view the nearby Xiahai City God Temple and enjoy a cup of tea while admiring the temple's scenery outside, soaking in the local cultural ambiance and supporting the local economy. The third floor housed a vintage lantern shop filled with lanterns, making it a great spot for taking photos.
