Puji Road and Heping Road Intersection in Taoyuan — Online Webcam

Puji Road — the Heart of Daxi Old Town

Puji Road is the very artery through which life pulses in the historic Daxi District of Taoyuan City. If you want to experience the atmosphere of a real Taiwanese town with its trading traditions, street food, and centuries of history — this online webcam will transport you right into the heart of the action. Puji Road is deservedly considered the place with the highest concentration of food trucks in the entire Daxi Old Street area. Here, it is nearly impossible to walk without stumbling upon food stalls where everything is cooked right before your eyes.

Taoyuan is a city in northern Taiwan, and Daxi District is one of its most colorful corners. Daxi Old Street was built during the Japanese colonial period on Taiwan and served as a bustling center for camphor and tea trade. It was then that the street network was formed, which has survived to this day. During the Japanese era, the streets were planned along the old street, with the main commercial activity taking place on Heping Road, Zhongshan Road, and Xinnan Road. Puji Road fit into this historical fabric as one of the key trading arteries.

Puji Road and Heping Road Intersection — Where the Camera Is Located

The online camera is installed at the intersection of Puji Road and Heping Road and shows various views of local landmarks in real time. This intersection is a strategic point: from here you can see several historic building facades, pedestrian flow, and market rows at once. Heping Road — the so-called wooden street — was built relatively late compared to other streets in Daxi, so the residential buildings here are in good condition and have preserved their historic appearance.

Daxi Old Street consists of four roads: Zhongyang Road (traditional goods street), Heping Road (wooden street), Zhongzheng Road (food street), and Zhongshan Road (arts street). Puji Road crosses this network and serves as a linking element between the trading zones. The pan-tilt camera allows you to examine the architecture of the facades, Chinese-language signage, and the rhythm of life in this amazing place.

Puji Road Street Food: Hakka Cuisine and Local Delicacies

Daxi Old Street is the best place to taste Hakka street food, including dried tofu (dou-gan), peanut malt candy, and dessert tofu (dou-hua). On Puji Road, this tradition reaches its peak. Food trucks and stalls offer visitors dishes prepared according to recipes passed down from generation to generation.

The signs on the establishments display menus in Chinese with dish names: tofu in various variations, tea-baked eggs, sesame chicken, ice cream, and chocolate milk. Each of these dishes reflects the culinary traditions of the Hakka people, who have lived on the territory of Taiwan for centuries. Tofu shops are a separate attraction of the street: here you can try tofu with a texture and taste that you will not find outside of Taiwan.

Traditional Shops and Souvenirs in Daxi

In addition to food, the old street features antique shops, tofu shops, incense and sandalwood shops, and souvenir stores. Puji Road and the adjacent streets are a place where you can find unique items: from carved wooden products to traditional Taiwanese sweets. The buildings along the street are multi-story, with characteristic Asian architecture, where the first floors are dedicated to commerce and the upper floors to residential use.

Incense and sandalwood shops are a reference to the fact that Daxi was historically a center of camphor and timber trade. Today, these stalls continue the tradition, offering visitors aromatic sticks, essential oils, and products made from aromatic wood. Souvenir shops sell items from local artisans — ceramics, textiles, and wooden crafts.
