Wenchang Street - Furniture Street Introduction
Wenchang Street, located at the intersection of Xinyi Road and Linjiang Street's traditional market, is a famous furniture street in Taipei. In the past, this area was predominantly filled with lumber, hardware, cement, and other decoration material shops, with only a few furniture stores. Some furniture retailers would even be seen hammering away at the entrance, assembling and selling sofas on-site. Later, due to the demolition of illegal structures in Daan Forest Park, many nearby furniture businesses relocated here, gradually creating a unique street scene with over a hundred furniture shops, hence the title of "Furniture Street" was born. Today, under the planning of the city government, this furniture street features a blend of traditional streets and modern decor, showcasing a unique cultural and economic background while meeting leisure and shopping needs. The furniture available here is quite diverse, ranging from European-style, Chinese-style, trendy, to antique reproductions, including everything from large furniture to miniature home decor. If you are looking for creative furniture that suits your personal style, this is definitely the place to visit.
