Yangcheng First Public Retail Market, Public retail market in Xinle Village, Taiwan
Yangcheng First Public Retail Market is a marketplace in Xinle Village with stalls selling fresh produce, seafood, meats, and traditional Taiwanese ingredients. The building retains its original wooden roof structure while featuring improved natural lighting and air circulation throughout.
The market was founded in 1948 following World War II as a wooden structure with three connected buildings that housed shops on the ground level and homes above. This original design shaped how the space functioned for many decades.
The market serves as a gathering place where locals have shopped and connected for decades, with vendors maintaining traditional ways of selecting and selling food. Families continue to visit out of habit and loyalty, making it a social hub beyond simple commerce.
The market is easy to walk through with good spacing between stalls, though it can get crowded during peak shopping hours in the morning. Arriving early gives visitors better selection and a more comfortable browsing experience.
Vintage mosaic tiles from the original construction are visible throughout the market, connecting daily operations with the building's architectural past. These colorful tiles reflect the craftsmanship of the post-war period.
