Where is the center of wholesale garments in Taipei? The first place that comes to everyone's mind is undoubtedly 'Wufenpu'. Hundreds of wholesale stores are gathered near Songshan Train Station. The origin of its name dates back to the Qing Dynasty when Wufenpu was the area inhabited by the Pingpu indigenous people. Later, five families surnamed He, Zhou, Shen, Du, and Li bought the land from the Pingpu people to cultivate it, naming the village Wufenpu. Taiwan's economic development over the past half-century, from poverty to working day and night to achieve prosperity, mirrors the development history of Wufenpu. People from central and southern Taiwan who came north for a living gathered in Wufenpu, processing leftover or unsold fabrics from exported garments into underwear, children's clothing, or rough work clothes, which were then sold at roadside stalls and retail stores, gradually establishing Wufenpu's reputation. Today, hundreds of garment businesses are gathered here, with sources from all over Taiwan, and even imported from regions like Hong Kong, Thailand, Korea, and Singapore. The affordable clothing attracts small wholesalers and retailers. Due to the wide variety of styles and trendy cuts, many young people also come here to shop, creating eye-catching fashion styles by mixing and matching outfits. When the urge to shop strikes but the budget is tight or you don't want to break the bank, Wufenpu is the perfect place. It's worth mentioning that bargaining is also a common shopping practice here, along with the shopkeepers.
