History
edit
The market was originally established in 1907 during the Japanese rule as Chiensui Market. In 1946, after the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China, the market was renamed Nanmen Market. In 1981, it moved to its current location at Roosevelt Road in an indoor building. In 2019, the market was closed for renovation works. Tenants were temporarily moved to a facility located in the nearby Hangzhou Road starting 13 November 2019.[1] It will be closed on 30 September 2023. The newly constructed market building on the Roosevelt Road obtained its operating license on 30 May 2023.[2] It will have its soft opening on 7 October 2023 and official opening in early November 2023.[3]
