Fourth Market Introduction
The historical building "Fourth Market," located on Nanjing Road in the East District of Taichung City, officially opened for operation on December 4, 2021, with the introduction of private resources and creative activation by the city government. It has been transformed into a venue that combines youth entrepreneurship with cultural significance. The exterior of the Fourth Market retains the roof design of the Prince’s Pavilion, while the interior features stainless steel tables and chairs, weathered old market signs, and a space for literary reading, creating an inclusive environment. Its unique style has made it a popular spot for social media check-ins in Taichung. The venue regularly hosts historical and cultural exhibitions, themed activities related to comics and illustrations, as well as local youth entrepreneurial markets, combining comic and illustration themes with local agricultural products for sale and light refreshments, creating a space for local cultural experiences and recreational entertainment in the East District, while also functioning as a means of preserving and revitalizing historical architecture and supporting youth entrepreneurship. Other services (held periodically, with announcements on the Fourth Market's Facebook fan page) include market mini-tours, local ingredient experiences, parent-child storytelling, and themed book exhibitions.
