Came on a Monday morning post CNY so traffic was light and was able to see the entire showcase. Lots of giftable shops, stink tofu stalls, etc. Worth a visit as part of a trip to Jiaoxi, Yilan.
Nice Old Street, worth to visit.
Just take the taxi or bus no.660, 666, 819 from Muzha Metro Station, about 15-20 minutes away.

Lots of shops, the street is actually longer than what I originally expected. It is also easy to get to from Taipei.
In the past old time, Shenkeng was the only way to go from Taipei to Yilan. This place is surrounded by mountains and looked like a big pit, so it got the name "Shenkeng".
During the Qing Dynasty, Shenkeng's agricultural products such as tea were carried from the mountains to the river and transported by boat. It became a lively and busy, since then the old street is formed and become a tourist spot nowsaday.
There are 4 treasure at there which is toufu, tea leaf, black pork meat and green bamboo shoots. we have tried the stingy toufu at the famous wang shui cheng shop, also taste the award winning plum wine. Don't forget to take photo with the big old tree at the junction which is the landmark of Shenkeng old street.

Walking street in the suburbs of Taipei. It is a walking street that locals or Taiwanese people like to come and take a look. Because I felt that there were no foreign tourists coming to walk in this area at all. The recommended menu is stinky tofu that there are many types. Both fried and boiled stinky tofu. The taste is very delicious for those who can eat it. And then there are various local menus. such as traditional Taiwanese snacks. Unfortunately, many of the shops do not speak English. It may cause difficulty in communication. But it is a recommended place to see if you are interested in visiting the walking street like a Taiwanese person.
Beautiful old street a bit of a distance away from Taipei City. This place is worth a visit even though the journey by Metro and bus is around 1 hour. The street snacks and the food at the sit down restaurants are all very delicious. The food here is nice but seems a tad expensive (probably because the area feels quite touristy). After visiting this Old Street, you can also visit Shiding Old Street which is only 15 minutes away by bus.
This place has many unique food not found in night markets. Good reasonable prices and friendly shop owners. I enjoyed my time.
An old street known for its red bricks and stinky tofu, this area has much more restaurants than street-food vendors.
The stinky tofu I tried here was very flavorful and was not too 'aromatic', making it more palatable.
This place is very pretty at night.
