Dihua Street

Hi,

Can know do Dihua street worth a visit? As understand it will be super busy during CNY season, but now if I visit in April, will the streets stalls still be opened?

And can know, do they open in the daytime or night time like the night markets?

Dihua Street

Hi,

It opens up after 10.30am but is a little more active in the Evenings , however there is nothing much there when it is not ';seasonal'; i.e. not many stalls.

thanks, if that is the case, maybe i dun go here and spent some time ZhongShan Metro Mall instead.

I think Zhongshan Metro Mall is the most boring of all the underground malls, so you should instead head for the shopping outside MRT Zhongshan Station or the 3 underground malls at Taipei Station. Zhongshan Metro Mall is good for walking between MRT Zhongshan Station and Taipei Main Station, though.

thanks, change my plan to visit either Metro Front Mall or East Metro Mall instead

Taipei City Mall:

OOPS!!

Thanks looks good.

Do the shops open at 10am?

And where can I go when I reach the west end of Taipei City Mall?

Once you reach the end you can turn back and walk down the OTHER corridor. (City Mall has two parallel corridors: shops / corridor / shops / corridor / shops) Then when you get to North Brown Exit 7 (right-hand corridor when heading west), go up to Hochezhan. City Mall is much more interesting than Station Front Metro Mall.

thanks

Shop owners on Taipei’s Dihua Street (迪化街), well-known for Lunar New Year shopping, intend to begin their annual shopping festival on Jan. 9.

Vendors there said they were expecting to hire 500 temporary workers in anticipation of rising consumer spending driven by the government’s shopping voucher scheme.

The New Year Big Street Festival (年貨大街) will run for 17 days until noon on Jan. 25 — Lunar New Year’s Eve — and is expecting to attract 170 shopkeepers and 250 vendors, the Chinese-language Apple Daily (蘋果日報) reported yesterday.
