While Dihua Street satisfies the appetite, Huayin Street between Chongqing North (重慶北路) and Taiyuan (太原路) Roads looks after appearances: clothes, shoes, leather goods and accessories are the themes here. At the commercial circle behind Taipei Main Train Station (後火車站商圈), located on Chongqing N Road between Changan West (長安西路) and Zhengzhou (鄭州路) roads, stores supply general merchandise - toys, clothing, bling, ornaments and cosmetics. Both places are wholesale markets and will appeal to bargain hunters.
The easiest way to get around the shopping zones is by MRT. The Shuanglian, Taipei Main Station and Zhongshan stations are the nearest exits. A special Lunar New Year Shop-Around bus, number 518, runs through the Neihu District, Minsheng East and West roads and Taipei Main Station to drop shoppers off at the doors of commercial venues.
