Visiting this wet market has long been part of the domestic routine for many a Taipei denizen. The main floor contains rows upon rows of stalls hawking regional speciality goods. Wind through the maze of stalls and you’ll not only be treated to a nostalgic slice of the city’s past, but also to a veritable goldmine of samples – from dried mango pieces and fragrant roselle flowers to razor-thin slices of meat jerky and pungent pickled goods.
