Taoyuan Train Station Front Business District Introduction
Taoyuan Train Station Front Business District refers to the bustling commercial area extending from Zhongzheng Road in front of the train station to the section of Zhongshan Road near Jingfu Temple. Within just a few intersections, it gathers a variety of industries including fashion, clothing, jewelry, and department stores. After sunset, with the lights shining brightly, Taoyuan transforms into a vibrant night scene, making it an excellent place for shopping enthusiasts to discover surprises and find great items. The Taoyuan Station Front Business District can be described as a unique commercial area that integrates both old and new cultures. Due to its advantageous location, it quickly attracts other businesses, leading to the expansion of the district. The district is constructed around three main sections that create a theme of being fun, delicious, and enjoyable: the front section near the train station is filled with department stores and electronics shops, forming a cluster of premium department stores; the middle section along Chenggong Road features a variety of clothing stores, Western and Chinese cuisine, and coffee shops, catering to the consumption needs of young people; the back section centered on Jingfu Temple experiences a flow of visitors coming to worship at the century-old temple, with numerous traditional delicacies and snack shops surrounding it. To experience the local vibrancy of Taoyuan, a stroll around the Zhongzheng Road Business District is a great choice. The front section is primarily based on Zhongzheng Road, extending to Datong Road, Fuxing Road, and Zhonghua Road, and is conveniently located near Taoyuan Train Station and other public transport options, offering excellent transportation accessibility. The district houses major department stores such as Far Eastern FE21, Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, and Dihon Department Store, creating a lively atmosphere that encourages various chain stores to set up shop, bringing prosperity to the area. In addition to department stores and shops, this area is also close to schools and tutoring centers. The main scope of the middle section of the business district stretches from Dihon Department Store to Chenggong Road, linking sports goods and coffee shops. It caters to the young crowd with various sports brands and features trendy, creative food options hidden in the alleyways, satisfying the dining needs of the bustling crowds. In the back section centered around Jingfu Temple, this area has developed into a culinary hotspot featuring traditional old shops and local snacks due to the influx of worshippers. Jingfu Temple, which has been around for over a century, is located at the intersection of Zhongzheng Road and Zhongshan Road and is colloquially known as the "Big Temple" by locals. It is the most famous temple in Taoyuan City and is recognized as a national historical site, showcasing its historical significance. Beside the temple, a collection of popular eateries, including duck meat shops, Mino noodle stalls, oyster vermicelli, meatballs, and rice noodle soup, provides a feast for food lovers. Walking into "Xinmin Street," paved with granite, offers a different perspective. Once known as "Taoyuan's First Street," Xinmin Street developed its unique historical culture adjacent to the Taoyuan Grand Temple. Although it is not as famous as Daxi Old Street, it records precious memories of the citizens of Taoyuan. After infusing cultural creativity and street art, it presents a beauty of conflict yet harmony, allowing visitors to savor the unique charm of the alleyways.
