In its early days, Raohe Street prospered due to the deep waters of the Keelung River, which facilitated water transportation and vibrant commercial activities between Raohe Street and Songshan Train Station. Over time, the riverbed silted up, leading to decreased ship traffic and a decline in business operations.
