Bopiliao Old Street

We toured the Bopiliao Old Street (剝皮寮歷史街區) on our first day. It has a lot of fascinating knowledge about this old area. For example, it used to be an important trading port because it was located close to a river. There were many Japanese era architectures as well as Qing Dynasty era buildings.

There were also displays of the Taiwanese education system during Japanese occupation. During that time, school year in Taiwan followed the Japanese school system, which began on April 1 and ended on March 31 the following year.
