The wharf is composed of 3 T-shaped trestle type concrete wharves and 7 brick and wood structure warehouses (8 numbers).

The land area is 54888 square meters, and the wharf coastline is 321 meters. The wharf is of high concrete pile beam slab structure. There are 6 brick and wood structure warehouses, 2 mixed structure warehouses and 2 reinforced concrete structure warehouses. The storage area of concrete floor is 11362 square meters. There are 9 auxiliary production buildings, 6 auxiliary living buildings and 5 office buildings. At the beginning of its completion, the black chimney shipping company, represented by Swire Pacific, operated the routes from the Far East, central and South Asia to and from Guangzhou to Hong Kong, Shanghai and Haiphong (Vietnam). There were 30 ships, of which 26 were about 3000 tons cargo ships and cruise ships only berthed at Guangzhou Swire warehouse wharf to load and unload goods.

From 1928 to 1933, when Chen Jitang was in charge of Guangdong Province, taigucang wharf area was reconstructed and expanded. At that time, high pile beam slab structure was used to build Neiyi Wharf (7 warehouses in today's taikoocang), No.1, No.2 and No.3 Bridge berths (three "t" - shaped Wharf in today's taikoocang) and Neier Wharf (Osaka warehouse).

During the period of Japanese invasion of China, taigucang wharf was an important transfer base for military materials and personnel of Japanese invaders. In December 1947, Guangdong Provincial National Government set up Guangdong Provincial Food Planning Committee and Guangdong Provincial Grain Management Committee to store grain in Guangzhou Yihe (Jardine warehouse), taigucang and Osaka. Later, due to the increase of grain coming to the city, the granary was not enough to store, so it was borrowed The warehouse of rice machine in the city stores grain on behalf of others.

In August 1950, in order to keep municipal relief grain and cooperate with the purchase of summer grain, the government rented Taigu warehouse, Dasheng warehouse, rongxingtang warehouse and two civilian warehouses on Huangpu Avenue to store grain.

On February 24, 1953, the military control commission of Guangzhou city was ordered to expropriate the Taigu warehouse, and the Taigu warehouse wharf was nationalized, which was successively operated and managed by the Guangzhou Port Bureau and the Guangzhou port group.

During the period of 1955-1960, Taigu warehouse was the busiest wharf with the highest density of ships arriving at the port and the largest throughput among all the docks in the inner harbor area of Guangzhou at that time. Due to the large capacity of the warehouse, Taigu warehouse was often used to store important materials while goods were in operation.

In 1968, in the historical tide of educated youth going to the countryside, taigucang wharf became an important wharf to transport Guangzhou educated youth to Zhanjiang and Hainan to participate in the construction of Southern Xinjiang. During the "Cultural Revolution", taigucang suffered a lot. On September 1-3, 1967, a "fighting" took place in Taigu warehouse, which caused some warehouses to catch fire, killing 7 people and injuring more than 10 people. Among them, No. 8 warehouse with three storeys was burned down, causing huge property losses. On September 3, the central investigation team also went to Taigu warehouse to investigate in person. In the "ten-year catastrophe", Taigu warehouse was shelled, and a warehouse mainly for storing and packaging white sugar was punched through a big hole. Although it has been repaired later, the packaged sugar stored in the repaired location is often susceptible to moisture, while there is no such phenomenon in other locations and other warehouses. It can be seen that at the beginning of construction, the overall design, building materials, construction technology and moisture-proof measures of Taigu warehouse are still quite scientific and rigorous.

In 2005, it was designated as a cultural relic protection unit in Guangzhou.
