In 1861, Qing Dynasty established a customhouse in Tamsui and the base became a pier. It began operating on 18 July 1862 as Huwei Port.[1] On 5 August 1895, the custom was closed and handed over to Japan. The custom was then replaced by the custom in Dadaocheng, Taipei in 1916 and being renamed as Customs of Tamsui Branch, Taiwan Government Monopoly in 1920.[2]
ArchitectureEdit
The wharf was constructed by piling up stones from Mount Guanyin in Wugu and it stretches up to 150 meters long.
