Yichung Night Market - Yichung Shopping District Introduction
Yichung Commercial District (also known as Yichung Street, Yichung Street Commercial District, Taichung Yichung Commercial District) is a large shopping area located in the North District of Taichung City. It encompasses Sanmin Road, Yichung Street, Taiping Road, Yucai Street, Yucai South Street, and North Road. In the past decade, it has rapidly risen to become a gathering place for high school students in central Taiwan, making it a typical large student commercial district. Although the Taichung Yichung Street Commercial District does not have the historical depth of Fengjia Night Market, it boasts many long-established stores with over twenty years of history, such as Yichung Fengren Ice, Shangheyuan Braised Dishes (the direct store of Donghai Lianxin Ice), Rilili Pirate Rice Balls, and Xishilianlian Pan-Fried Dumplings, all known for the flavors that only Yichung talents used to enjoy. A particularly popular dish in Yichung Street's food scene is Yichung Haoda Fried Chicken, known for its large portions that guarantee satisfaction. The drinks at Yichung Night Market, whether they are bubble tea, special beverages, or freshly squeezed juices, can further satisfy the taste buds of young people after indulging in various delicious foods. The pasta at the night market breaks the typical restaurant's price of 200 NTD per dish, offering high-end restaurant flavors starting from just 50 NTD, comparable to street food prices. Yichung Night Market primarily features a variety of snacks but has also added many small shops favored by young students, such as accessory stores, clothing shops, record stores, sporting goods shops, and small boutiques. Because of the low prices and the ease of finding trendy fashion items, accessories, and personalized goods, Taichung Yichung Street has become a source of popular culture information for local teenagers. In Yichung Street Night Market, there is a wide array of specialty stores featuring products from various countries, including cute plush dolls and small boutiques, as well as stores selling imported goods, all of which are very popular among young girls. Yichung Street also has elements that attract boys, including a sports goods street, where you can find more than ten sports equipment shops within a short stretch of the road, showcasing numerous new sneaker styles. In recent years, with extensive media coverage and planned promotions by the city government, the commercial district is being themed around youth pop culture. With developments such as "Yichung Ximen District" by Yuanlin Construction in the northern part of the commercial district, "Rui Feng Yichung Street" by Ruifeng Construction, and "Yichung New World Commercial District" by Yimin Construction, alongside storefront projects at the intersection of Jingwu Road and Yichung Street, the Yichung commercial area continues to expand.
