Travel Taipei

Years ago I found Wufenpu clothing market with great difficulty, and got lost looking for it. This year, it was easy to find because they had extended the green metro line all the way there, which made it easy peasy. As well, the Raohe Night Market is just next door too off the same Songshan metro stop. To get to Wufenpu, you just walk straight from the metro stop exit, and enter into the market which becomes walking ‘streets’ within the block. Stores line both sides of ‘streets’ selling mostly clothing, although there were handbag, backpack, accessories stores. Display space is limited and stock is held mostly inside plastic bags on the floor. So you choose from what is displayed and the clerk rummages through the bags to find one for you. This clothing market is closed Mondays to the public so they can conduct international and local sales in bulk to put orders in. Tourists and locals love to shop here for clothing at excellent prices. There are a few food vendors who wheel carts around selling snacks but not many, as the Raohe food market is just next door anyhow. There is a wonderful park to relax in with a childrens' playground and temple too. Although I didn't need anything, both my friends did so much shopping at such great prices, that they couldn't carry any more. They loved shopping there. The market is so huge that you will not get through all of it in one day. We covered only a small section of the entire market, walking up and down the narrow streets.

地元の台湾人をはじめ、観光客やショップバイヤーたちも訪れる「服飾問屋街」です 「五分埔」と言う珍しい地名の由来は、清の時代（1636年～1912年） この辺りには「平埔族（へいほぞく）」と呼ばれる台湾の原住民が住んでいて 1769年に福建省から「何、周、沈、杜、李」の5つの姓を持った家族がここへ移り住み、この土地を買い取り開拓して行った事から「五分埔（5つの姓に分けられた福建人家族と平埔族が住む場所）」という地名になったのだそうです 当時は貧しい地域だったそうで・・・ 経済発展のため、下着や子供服、作業服などの衣料用品を加工生産し、販売を行っていたそうです 約1000軒ものお店が路地の中にひしめき合って立ち並らぶ、女子必見の街です

Clothes, clothes and more clothes at bargain price. It is a shopping place for bargain clothes. The styles and quality is fair but you get what you pay for, it is not designer clothes. If you have the time, then it is fun to walk around but it is not a must see.

どこまで行っても服・服・服です。迷路のようになっていて迷います。掘り出し物もありますし、店頭に出ている物はお安いです。何がと言う訳ではないですが、夜市からも近いせいか、台湾に行った際には寄ってしまいますね。

If you not a local, i don’t think you should go here for shopping. Its not cheap at all. I think this like they wholesale area. But if you interesting, you can go here by walking from raohe market.
