The market regularly hosts exhibitions, attracting tourists to leisurely explore and take photos. Whether you are seeking authentic cuisine or wish to experience the charm of traditional Taiwanese markets, this place allows you to feel the unique allure of Wanhua District, making it a great spot to explore Taipei’s history and culture.
