About關於剝皮寮

剝皮寮聚落成形於清代早期．橫跨清代、日治、民國三個時代，混合了不同時期的建築風格與人文風貌，成為一條足以代表艋舺特色的市街。

2009年，『剝皮寮歷史街區』整修竣工，佇立於今日臺北市萬華區巷弄中，延續著百餘年的歷史軌跡：拱型亭仔腳紅褐古樸磚牆，縈繞著古意盎然的氛圍。

這群見證了艋舺市街發展的舊建築，現今更融入教育與文化意涵，成為鄉土歷史教育及藝文展演的重要場域 …

Bopiliao Old Street (aka Bopiliao Historical District/Street 剝皮寮歷史街區) is a historical street in Taipei, made almost completely of one or two story brick buildings, many dating over 200 years ago and was one of the earliest commercial districts in northern Taiwan. Here you can find museums, shops, food options, and art exhibitions. It is definitely worth a stop on your trip to Taipei.

Historical Background:
The land that Popiliao Old Street stands on was once part of Basay tribal land. The Basay people had lived on the land for thousands of years before the first Chinese settlers.
Sections of the area indicate that there was settlements here during the Dutch rule in the 1600s.
The name Bopliao come from the fact that timber and animal skins were transported here, and the bark or skins of animals was also peeled here (Bopi 剝皮 means literally to peel skin).
The first recorded Chinese settlement of Bopiliao was in1763 during the Early Qing Dynasty. At the time it was a small cluster of houses near the larger settlement at Bangka (Mengjia 艋舺). 
Important products that were sold here include coal, tea, as well as various other goods. It was among the most prosperous area in Taipei.
During the Japanese era, Taipei City underwent new urban planning, which meant that Pobiliao was not longer an important intersection for trade. It slowly lost importance and fell into disrepair. 
In 2006 the Taipei City government underwent a renovation project for Bopiliao Old Street, including renovation of buildings and creating museums. Now there are many historical and art exhibits here, and it is a popular place for visitors on the weekends.
