The market played a significant role in fostering the development of Xikou Harbor on the Keelung River. The Songshan Market Building was built in 1909. The structure still preserves its original look, with its cypress truss girders and outer cobbled walls remaining in a quite good condition.Mon, 27 Sep 2021 06:29:24 GMT
