The
location of Taiwan's most famous "Chinese New
Year Goodies Street," DiHua Street is also a
huge market for groceries, Chinese medicines, and
textiles. The textile stores are located in nearby
YongLe Market, which carries a good selection of fabrics
at reasonable prices. The Chinese medicine stores
are located near ChengHuang Temple and MinSheng West
Road. Groceries can be found everywhere along DiHua
Street. The street is historic: narrow but full of
business activities, the pictureseque buildings on
both sides are filled with shops, some of which are
more than 100 years old. On holidays, the street is
packed with thousands of people purchasing gift packages.
During Chinese New Year, the city government organizes
a "goodies market" which draws thousands
and thousands of people. Take a bus to the intersection
of MinSheng West Road and YenPing North Road, or get
off at the ChengHuang Temple stop and walk a short
distance.
