Wufenpu, Taipei

Taipei's clothes paradise


Wufenpu 五分埔, located in Xinyi district, is one of Taipei's biggest shopping areas, famous for wholesale clothing. There are several streets full of shops attracting a lot of young people. It has a bit of a night market charm, but without the food. There are some food stalls, but just to feed the hungry shoppers. You can find all kinds of clothes for affordable prices, but not only that, you can buy all kinds of accessories, shoes and purses. It's definitely a paradise for shoppers and from what I saw, girls were dominating the area.

See some photos of Wufenpu in August, 2011:

This is wholesale in its basic sense.

Long lanes full of stores are common.

A corner shop.

You can also find qipao, traditional Chinese garment.
