Free Samples! Dihua Street Year Of The Pig Lunar New Year Market-Taipei, Taiwan
The Dihua Street Lunar New Year, (Chinese New Year), Market takes place every year in Taipei, Taiwan 2 weeks prior to the start of the New Year. In 2019 that’s February 5th, the Year Of The Pig. This is a very exciting time of year marking the most important holiday in Taiwan. This festival is a great way to get to know the culture by sampling the enormous quantity of snacks and food on hand that Taiwanese stock up their pantries with for the holiday. Everything from dried squid, nori snacks, (seaweed), nuts, dried fruit, candies, along with New Year’s traditional food like mullet roe, canned abalone and conch is available. Outside of festival time Dihua Street, also known as “grocery street”, is a commercial district filled with Chinese traditional medicine shops and stores that sell these New Year’s food items year-round. There are lots of cafes and restaurants in this neighborhood from humble stalls or shops that sell noodles and other traditional foods to Italian Restaurants and historic bakeries. During the 19th and early part of the 20th century Dihua Street was the center of commerce for Taipei, when many international companies set up export businesses shipping tea, fabrics, and other goods worldwide. Today it’s one of the most beautiful “old streets” of Taiwan that’s l lined with buildings that go as far back as the Qing Dynasty. Thanks so much for watching the video!
