A Traditional Market Transforms into a Hipster Bazaar—A New Fashionable Highlight in Tamsui Commercial District

Text by MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

Taipei’s Tamsui Commercial District exudes a cozy residential vibe, and its comprehensive urban amenities attract many visitors. Even its traditional vegetable markets have been reborn as hipster bazaars. With over 20 years of history, Shidong Market is one of the focal points of the Tamsui community. After undergoing renovations this year, it has transformed into an international-grade branded market. The traditional market now radiates a strong hipster vibe, as if you’ve stepped into a creative design bazaar.

Certified as a four-star market by Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs, Shidong Market has collaborated with the Beautiful Relationship design team to transform 19 vendors into design-conscious shops. Not only do the signage colors match the goods sold, but even the vegetable baskets have been specially designed, completely redefining the traditional market image with a strong hipster flair.
