Tamsui Old Street, taipei

When your front door is fancier than your entire house.

The red bricks of Tamsui (淡水) stand as silent witnesses to a bygone era. Walking up the pathway flanked by neatly trimmed shrubs, one can't help but feel a sense of reverence for the history encapsulated within these walls. The arched windows and green railings are not just architectural features; they are remnants of a time when craftsmanship was an art form. As I stood before the double doors, it felt like standing at the threshold of time itself. The overcast sky only added to the solemnity of the moment, casting a soft light that accentuated every detail of this historic structure. In this quiet corner of Tamsui, history is not just remembered; it is lived.
