[2025 New Taipei City Attraction] Travel Guide for Tamsui Customs Officers' Residence (Updated Jul)

#Overseas travel 📣 The hotel is near Ximen Station, and I used the Taipei Garden Hotel, a Japanese-style hotel right in front of Carrefour. Day 1️⃣ Taoyuan Airport ➡️ Ximen Station Hotel ➡️ Taipei 101 Tower ➡️ Hotel ☑️ I arrived at Taipei Airport around 3:30 PM and took the Dayu Bus to Ximen Station. It took about an hour without transfers. ☑️ I took the bus from the hotel to Taipei Tower without transfers for about an hour. Day 2️⃣ Hotel ➡️ Ximending ➡️ Tamsui Filming location of the movie “Secret that Cannot Be Told” ➡️ Tamsui River Starbucks (Sunset) ➡️ Hotel ☑️ Ximending is the largest shopping district in Taiwan, and you can think of it as the city center. Must-eat Samhyeongmae Mango Bingsu, Haengbokdang Black Sugar Bubble Tea, Uyukmyeon, etc. Must-eat! ☑️ The secret filming location is inconvenient to get to, so take a taxi from Danshui Station and get off at Hongmaoqing. ☑️ If you go to Hongmaoqing, Jinli University, Damgang Middle School, and Xiaobai Palace in that order, you won't get lost. 3️⃣Day Hotel ➡️ Yeliu Geopark ➡️ Shifen Waterfall ➡️ Shifen ➡️ Jiufen ➡️ Shilin Night Market ➡️ Hotel ☑️ It's called Yespokji Tour, but since the transportation is inconvenient, we use a bus tour or taxi tour. We used a bus tour, met at Shimen Station, got on, and got off at Shilin Night Market. ☑️ Make sure to try the chicken wing fried rice and peanut ice cream at Shifen! 4️⃣Day Hotel ➡️ Taipei Main Station ➡️ Taoyuan Airport ☑️ Many people stay at hotels at Taipei Main Station. ☑️ I took the Kuo-Kuang Bus from Taipei Main Station to Taoyuan Airport, and it took about an hour without transfers. The bus intervals are good.

#New Taipei Attractions Tamsui, formerly known as "Huwei", has as many as 35 ancient monuments and historical buildings. This time we visited several famous places: 📍Former Residence of the Commissioner of Taxation of Tamsui Customs of the Qing Dynasty (Little White House): Located in the Puting area of ​​Tamsui, it is nicknamed "Little White House" by the locals because of its white walls. It was the official residence of the Commissioner of Taxation of Tamsui Customs of the Qing Dynasty, so it is also known as "Puting Western-style Building". 📍Oxford College: Also known as "Li Xue Tang Da Shu Yuan", it was a Western-style modern school founded by Canadian missionary Mackay. It was rated as a Class II historic site in 1985 and is now a city-designated historic site in New Taipei City. 📍Fort Santo Domingo in Tamsui: In 1644, the Dutch rebuilt the city near the original site of Santo Domingo and named it "Fort Anthony". Since the Chinese at that time called the Dutch "red-haired", this city was called "Fort Santo Domingo" by them. 🎫Tickets: Full ticket for the Tamsui City Historic Site Museum is NT$80 You can enter the Tamsui Fortress, the former residence of the Tamsui Customs Commissioner (Little White House), and the Huwei Terrace with your ticket stub 🕒Opening hours: Monday to Friday 09:30-17:00 Saturday to Sunday 09:30-18:00 Closed hours: First Monday of each month (open as usual if it is a holiday, closed the next day), Lunar New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day

The "Little White House" is actually a nickname, with its full name being the "Former Tamsui Customs Officer's Residence." The building features a Spanish-style white architecture, complete with surrounding corridors and "semi-circular arches," exuding a strong European manor vibe. From the platform outside the Little White House, you can enjoy a distant view of Guanyin Mountain and the Tamsui River. On clear days, it's an especially great spot for photography. The garden within the premises is well-maintained, making it a pleasant place for a leisurely stroll among the flowers and greenery.

#AustraliaFlightEvent The road down to Sobaekgung and Damgang Middle School was a great photo spot, so if you like taking pictures (and being taken), please pass by! (At the end of the road is Jinli University!) It was a good road to walk all the way while looking around Hongmaoqingdao and other places. It's also a good place to watch the sunset. #OverseasTravel

#favouriteitinerary #thingstodo #citydaytours Tucked away on a hill overlooking Tamsui’s vibrant harbor, the Little White House stands as a reminder of the colonial era’s influence on this quaint town. Built in the 1860s during the era of the opening of Tamsui to foreign trade, this grand yet unassuming building was home to the customs officers overseeing the flow of goods through this bustling port. Its architecture is distinctly colonial, with raised foundations, verandas that wrap around the building, and chimneys that give it a unique European flair. The building’s snow-white façade earned it the affectionate nickname "Little White House" from locals, contrasting sharply with the lush greenery that surrounds it. As you step inside, you’re transported to a different time, where foreign merchants and traders once walked the halls. Today, it serves as a valuable cultural landmark, allowing visitors to peek into Tamsui’s colonial past and the architectural heritage left behind by the foreign presence in the area.

The first course I would like to recommend for a Tamsui tour in Taiwan is Xiaobai Palace. Xiaobai Palace literally means 'a small white palace', and it's so beautiful that it's also famous as a wedding photography location! With the sea right in front, if you want a peaceful healing experience in Taiwan, I recommend Xiaobai Palace in Tamsui✨️

When you enter Jinli University, you will find the Xiaobai Palace. It is a building that contains the modern history of Danshui! It used to be a customs office🙌🏻 The colorful garden and the British-style building were perfect for taking a picture of your life!📸 When I took pictures, There were fewer people than I thought at Jinli University and Hongmaoqing, so I was able to enjoy it leisurely!🤟🏻 📌 No. 15, Zhenli St, Tamsui District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 251 #TaiwanTravel #SoloTravel #TaiwanTravel #Taiwan #Taiwan #XiaobaiPalace #Danshui #DanshuiCourse #DanshuiTravel #OverseasTravel #HotPlace
