上坪老街, Historical commercial street in Zhudong Township, Taiwan.
Shangping Old Street is a historic commercial street in Taiwan featuring two-story buildings made of brick and wood. The structures display curved facades and arches that line the walkways.
The street began in 1889 and later became a distribution center for timber, camphor, and tea during the Japanese colonial period. This role shaped how the place developed and grew.
The arcades show a blend of local building traditions and outside influences visible in the decorated facades along the street. Visitors can still see today how this mix shaped the appearance and use of the space.
The street is accessible from County Road 122 and leads toward Wufeng. The surrounding area has many fruit orchards and organic farms that visitors can explore.
The second-floor windows feature a distinctive Portuguese-influenced concave design beneath them. This detail sets these buildings apart from other historic streets in the region.
