Bo-Pi Liao historic district in Monga is located in Lane 173 of Kangding Road. It is a street developed during the Qing period. Standing on the south side of Lao-Song Elementary School in Wanhau District, Taipei City, extending on the east to Kunming Street, south to Guanzhou Street and west to Kangding Road, it is the only Qing-styled street that still exists in Taipei today. Records of property transaction in Bo-Pi Liao could be dated back to 1799, so we could conclude that this street district was approximately formed in the early Qing period, and has a history of more than 200 years. In the mid-Qing period, Bo-Pi Liao street was called Fu-di Liao street, and was where soldier camps in Monga were located, rendering it an important military base. Situated in the southeast corner of Monga and connecting military camps with streets to Monga, it was an important road from Monga to Guting.

 

Between 1820 and 1860, developments in Taipei had expanded to Daan, Zhonglun, Guting and Jingwei (Jingmei). With a smooth and easy connection to both Xingdian and Xikou (Songshan), Monga therefore became the commercial center for goods from everywhere. For goods from Guting and Jingwei to enter Monga, they had to pass Fu-Di Liao street, and as a result, Bo-Pi Liao street was the main connecting channel between Monga and other villages during the Qing period, as well as the entrance point to Monga from other villages. During the Japanese Rule Era, because of a series of urban reforms conducted by the Japanese government, Bo-Pi Liao hence lost its important status. In the meantime, because it was reserved for school use, the street was preserved in the process of urban planning.
