Boai Road and Hankou Street area, known as "Bohan District," has the highest concentration of camera stores in Taiwan. This camera street has witnessed the development of photographic equipment in Taiwan. From the late Qing Dynasty to the early Japanese colonial period, after photography was introduced to Taiwan, cameras were always expensive items that ordinary people could rarely afford. A camera was a luxury item that could be exchanged for a house or over a thousand catties of rice. Due to the presence of many government agencies and media outlets within "Taipei City" at the time, coupled with its proximity to the conveniently located Taipei Main Station, camera stores gradually flourished to serve these customers. After "Rollei," a large film camera store specializing in German Rollei, opened opposite the Taipei Post Office in 1958, other photographic equipment stores such as Xingfu and Yuzhou on Hankou Street, and Rongmei and Yongsheng on Boai Road, opened one after another. Until recent years, nearly 50 camera stores have been established here, offering a complete range of brands and accessories. With the changing times, cameras are no longer expensive, and digital cameras are now commonplace. If you're looking for a good camera, you must come here. The dedication of the old stores to professionalism naturally attracts discerning customers.
