Jianguo Holiday Flower Market — Attraction in Da'an District

This is a great use of space I must say. To host a flower market right underneath a flyover bridge. It’s used as a carpark on the weekdays to cope with the lack of parking in Taipei city. This is a weekend market only and closes on the traditional holidays such a the lunar new year.

At least a couple of hours is necessary to get a feel for various merchandises offered in this market. Half a day or more is needed if one intends to peruse each stall thoroughly.
