Dong San Shui Street Market - Xin Fu Market Introduction
Dong San Shui Street Market and Xinfu Market are located in Wanhua District, Taipei City, and are one of the representative market clusters of the area, witnessing the development and historical changes of Wanhua District. This street has three main markets: Dong San Shui Street Vendor Concentrated Area (commonly known as Dong San Shui Market), Xinfu Market, and Xinfu Town Cultural Market, each with its unique style and charm. The Dong San Shui Street Vendor Concentrated Area (Dong San Shui Market) is a traditional market, but after a micro-renovation of the market vendors in 2017, it showcases a brand new look. The market environment is bright and comfortable, creating a family-friendly and tourist-friendly market space. Here, you can find fresh produce and various daily necessities, as well as many traditional snack stalls, from roasted duck and marinated foods to handmade desserts, allowing you to savor local delicacies while shopping and experience the unique charm of the market. Xinfu Market has a long history, with surrounding stalls continuing the tradition, mainly selling fresh cooked food and daily necessities. Popular snacks in the market, such as sashimi, oil rice, and handmade dumplings, are economical and delicious, favored by local residents and food lovers alike. Xinfu Town Cultural Market originated from the Green Town Grocery Market built in 1935 (in the 10th year of Showa), featuring a typical horseshoe-shaped architectural style, representing modern markets during the Japanese colonial period. Today, it is designated as a city heritage site and has become a place that integrates culture, history, and contemporary creative industries. The market hosts occasional exhibitions, attracting visitors to leisurely explore and take photos. Whether seeking authentic local food or wanting to experience the ambiance of Taiwan's traditional markets, you'll feel the unique charm of Wanhua District here, making it a great place to explore Taipei's history and culture.
