Wufenpu Shopping District — Attraction in Taipei

Cool shopping experience but you need to barter a lot. Be aware that some shops don't let you touch the bagged garments and you are to look at the ones hung up and ask for it. Do be advised that you should check the quality before you purchase from the bag.

I found that even with bartering the prices amount to the same as the shops in the night market if you don't speak taiwanese. When I used my broken taiwanese I got better discounts.

The clothing selection is varied. You have your cute sweaters and some office ware but mostly casual girl outfits. The male stores tend to give way better prices because of the lack of customers. We got a blazer from 1600 nt to 1350 whereas a women's sweater they priced at 1350 and dropped to 1000 but I'm pretty sure I could have gotten way less from hearing their conversation.
