Red Brick Arcade Street Houses
The red-brick arcade houses, mainly built during the Japanese occupation, reflect the past prosperity of Shenkeng as a hub for tea and coal transportation. Constructed of red bricks and featuring arcades, these houses combine architectural aesthetics with practical function, creating a unique streetscape. Even after modern renovations, they retain their historical character and nostalgic atmosphere. Strolling through them, one can appreciate the details of the classical architecture and the neighborhood atmosphere, experiencing the bustling scene of early commercial activity. The red-brick arcade houses are not only representative of architectural culture but also carry the history and memories of local life in Shenkeng.
