Sankeng Old Street

　　    Visiting here, you can not only enjoy the scent of rice stalks but also follow the well-developed cycling paths to explore historic sites such as “Hei Bai Xi” and sample a variety of local snacks and delicacies. Longtan is a well-known Hakka settlement in Taoyuan, and it is also home to a century-old street known as Sankeng Old Street, famed as the “First Street of Longtan.” It earned its name from the three water channels that run through the village. During the Qing Dynasty, the area became a key transshipment hub due to its convenient water transport, playing a dominant role in the economic lifelines of Longtan, Yangmei, and surrounding regions—leading to population growth and a period of prosperity. Although the bustling vibrancy of those golden days has faded, traces of history can still be found along the streets.
