The Dadaocheng area still retains many vestiges of old Taipei in its streetscapes and architecture, where the glories of the past have faded with time. Bao’an Street, locally known as the “old market,” was the most densely populated area among Taipei’s various districts during the Japanese colonial period. At that time, many private clinics and pharmacies operated on this small street, earning it the nickname “Doctors’ Street,” making it one of the most important Western medicine hubs in early Dadaocheng.

And the classic-style Bao’an 84 is located within Surien Surgical Hospital. Originally a two-story wooden house, its current exterior was renovated with concrete and expanded to three floors. Looking into the first floor from the outside, the soft yellow lighting and wooden decor create a calming and cozy atmosphere.
