WuFenPu & Raohe Street Night Market, Taiwan
We visited Taiwan twice this year and there is one place that we never fail to visit – Wufenpu 五分埔. Located opposite Songshan train station in XinYi District, Wufenpu one of the largest clothing markets in Taipei. One can also take the Bannan line to Houshanpi station and go out Exit 4. The market is a five-minute walk from the station along YongJi Road.
During our second visit there, I was really surprised that KampungBoy knows his way around sans a map because according to him, “you spent a freaking 6 hours there on our first visit!”. Oooooops!
Although the market is definitely not a high-fashion zone, it offers the latest street fashions for a fraction of the cost found elsewhere, with many items priced at less than NT$500. Bulk buying generally yields a discount.
