Wufenpu (五分埔) Shopping District

Wufenpu is somewhere I definitely have to go! When I asked around or did my research the first place that popped up was Ximengding. However, since I live there I will do a separate and more lengthy post on that later.

Places near Taipei 101 or department stores are the go-to places for the more well know name brands as well as high end fashion. However, if you're low on money but still want cute fashion then Wufenpu is the place to go! Its name means "Five Pieces of Land" and is full of history. I won't go much into it here but if you would like a short abbreviation of it click here!


Wufenpu is a wholesale shopping area consisting of many alleyways. Little storefronts litter all through out these alleyways. Since it's a wholesale district the more you buy the higher the discount you receive! In Taiwan haggling is widely accepted and many stores would not get offended if you try! 


From what I heard you can get the a lot of cute clothes for a huge fraction of the cost from higher end shopping areas. Definitely the place for affordable fashion! And you can bet that you'll find me here during the beginning and all throughout my trip!

Wish me luck!
