On
every weekend and
holiday, the Jianguo
Holiday Flower Market,
located under the
overpass of Sec.
3, Xinyi Rd. and
Jianguo S. Rd., is
always packed with
people. With a good
mood of non-working
holidays, everyone
wants to purchase some
flowers to brighten
their homes. Besides
flowers and plants,
Jianguo Holiday Flower
Market also sells
floral instruments and
seeds. This is
obviously a heaven for
gardening lovers. The
Da-an Forest Park is
sited just right beside
the Jianguo Holiday
Flower Market; hence it
is definitely the best
location to admire or
buy flowers.

Guanghua Market
opened in 1973
under Guanghua
Bridge between Bade
Road and Civic
Boulevard in
Taipei. It was
originally occupied
by used book shops
relocated from
Guling Street and
unlicensed shops
moved from Bade
Road. Business at
the market took a
while to pick up
due to the limited
choice of items on
sale. This began to
change with the
arrival of antique,
jade and electronic
supply shops in
1979; and in the
1990s the market
consolidated its
reputation as the
go-to place in
Taipei for computer
equipment and other
electronic gadgets,
with over a hundred
shops selling these
high-tech items. On
January 18, 2006,
Guanghua Market was
relocated to a new
facility at 77
Jinshan North Road.
In addition to
computers and other
electronic
peripherals, the
new market sells
branded sportswear
and athletic gear,
DVDs and CDs,
posters, PC and
console games,
books, stereo
equipment, mobile
phones and more.
The market is known
for its wide
variety, low prices
and convenient
comparison
shopping, making it
a magnet for
budget-minded
student
shoppers.
