Valentine’s Day Date at Xinyue Bridge: Try Century-Old Snacks & Explore European-Style Architecture

The perfect Valentine’s spot: From now until mid-September, the “Xinyue Bridge Dahanxi Night Midsummer Music Concert” series will be held. The Xinyue Bridge transforms into a “Magpie Bridge,” with street performers and bands performing every Saturday and Sunday evening at 7 PM. In addition, it combines with the temple culture of Xinzhuang Temple Street to create an atmosphere for experiencing traditional festival customs. Just donate one July or August invoice from this year for charity to receive one portion each of sesame oil chicken and fried rice. Limited to 800 portions, while supplies last.

The entrance to the 435 Art & Cultural Zone at the Banqiao end of Xinyue Bridge features European neoclassical architecture reminiscent of the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, with tall, symmetrical columns set against white sand and a fountain—a must-photo spot for a romantic and picturesque scene.

On the other side, Xinzhuang Old Street has a history of 300 years and can be seen as a microcosm of Taiwan’s development. Don’t worry if you get tired walking—there are also many century-old traditional shops on the old street, offering delicious eats you won’t tire of.

You don’t need to spend a fortune on Valentine’s Day—budget-friendly couples can still enjoy a romantic experience just for two.
