Fengjia Night market (Chinese: 逢甲夜市; pinyin: féng jiǎ yè shì; Wade–Giles: fêng2-chia3 yeh4-shih4), also called Fengjia Shopping Town is located in the Xitun district in Taichung, next to Feng Chia University. It was claimed [1] to be the largest night market in Taiwan.
[edit] History
Fengjia night market was established in 1963, established along with Feng Chia College of Engineering and Business (now Feng Chia University), the rising of the popularity stimulated the business of the nearby residential military dependents' village. Food/drink stands, gracious stores, restaurants, were established along Wen-hua road (thus the night market is also called Wenhua night market), then expanding to Fengjia road(逢甲路), Fushin road(福星路), Xian street(西安街)etc.
On October 5, 2006, a managing committee of Fengjia Shopping Town (逢甲購物商城) has been established by the Department of Economic Development of Taichung (台中市經濟發展處)[2], covering the surrounding areas such as Feng Chia night market, Bento street, etc., thus bringing the originally unlicensed operation of the night market under the office governance of Taichung city.
