Shopping in Taipei's Counterfeit Market: Wufenpu Shopping District
If you enjoyed this, please Like and Subscribe! I'll know to make more videos!
If you’re in Taiwan shopping, you’ll know that Taipei can accommodate all types of budgets. Personally, I like cheap shopping in Taipei so I hunt for bargains. If bargain shopping appeals to you, then head over to the Wufenpu Shopping District! A true Taiwan shopping experience where you can find insane deals, counterfeit products, and creations by local designers all at a low cost.
When looking for where to shop in Taipei, your first stop should be at Wufenpu Market. They have the biggest variety of designer clothing at the lowest prices. There are aisles and aisles of shops in this outdoor maze that creates this Taipei shopping mall.
Prices at Wufenpu Wholesale Market
Wufenpu Shopping District is as close to a Taipei Outlet shopping experience as you can get. The prices are incredibly low with a variety and abundance of clothing. You can find swimwear, winter wear and all types of “fashion” at Wufenpu market.
A majority of the pricing is very transparent. Most of the items are priced between NT $50-$200 with some ranging for much more. If you feel the price is too high for an item, it’s not unusual to negotiate.
If you’re looking for a brand name Taipei outlet shopping facility, you can check out Mitsui Outlet Park. Everything I found there was more expensive than the same items I could find in the United States.
When compared to similar goods (non-brand name) you can find the price of clothes at Mitsui Outlet Park for 10x or more. Mitsui Outlet Park is a popular destination since you can access it quickly from Taipei International Airport.
How Long Should You Spend at Wufenpu Market?
Wandering around the narrow alleys of this Taipei shopping mall can take you hours. There’s so many shops, alleys, passages and so many items for sale. If you want to walk every alleyway and pass by every shop in Wufenpu Market, it would take you at least 2 hours.
That’s just walking around. The extra time is due to the small passages so you won’t be able to walk fast. You’ll find yourself dodging carts, bicycles, scooters and even cars! Stay alert!
Is There A Wufenpu Night Market?
Not exactly. There is no Wufenpu night market beacause it’s officially the Wufenpu Garment wholesale area. But if you’re looking for a Wufenpu night market, Wufenpu to Raohe Night Market is only a 10-minute walk.
What Are The Bags of Clothes On The Floor At Each Shop?
When at Wufenpu shopping, you’ll notice that there are bags of clothes on the floor of each shop. That’s all clothes for sale. They are new clothes (unused), you just have to jump in and browse.
In Taipei’s Wufenpu shopping district, each shop is typically very small and operated by one-person. That shop will still have a lot of clothes. Rather than spending the time to present the enormous amount of clothing each shop has, they just leave it in bags on the floors. It makes things easier to pack up and move around. Additionally, it keeps the operational costs of the business down. Bringing you MORE value!
Rainy Day Shopping In Taipei
Wufenpu Garment Wholesale area is an outdoor Taipei outlet mall but there is a rooftop to prevent you from getting wet! You won’t need to use your umbrella here!
But if it’s raining, you’ll still need to bring an umbrella. You’ll end up wet if you’re walking from Songshan Station to Wufenpu Garment Wholesale Area.
Wufenpu Market Opening Hours
Wufenpu Market opening hours is open from 2pm-11pm and you’ll find Raohe Night Market open from 4pm to 11pm. Most shops begin closing around 10pm. You won’t find many places open closer to midnight because they’ll be trying to catch the last train.
Late Night Shopping in Taipei
If you’re looking for things to do in Taipei at night, Wufenpu and Raohe market are the perfect combination. You can go to Raohe Night Market and eat a bunch of street food! Be sure to try the black pepper buns at Fuzhou. It’s the place with the long line right at the entrance to Raohe Night Market.
When you’re done eating, walk around through the late night shops and alleys of Wufenpu. You can keep walking until your hungry again so you can eat more at Raohe night market!
Traveler Tip: The Taipei MRT last train is at midnight.
Wufenpu Shopping District is open from 2pm-11pm and you’ll find Raohe Night Market open from 4pm to 11pm. Most shops being closing around 10pm. You won’t find many places open closer to midnight because they’ll be trying to catch the last train.
