The Kaohsiung Dry Foods Market三鳳中街 is a local market and very popular during the Lunar New Year.

If you are looking for a local market with a distinct Asian flavor, check out the Kaohsiung Dry Foods Market Street (“San Feng Zhong”) 三鳳中街.

San Feng Zhong is a small narrow alley loaded with shop stalls on either side. It winds its way for about 1km end to end.

Getting to San Feng Zhong Market

Unfortunately the market is a bit of a walk from the Kaohsiung Main Station MRT stop. The market starts on the corner of the busy Zhong Hua 3rd Road & Jian Guo 3rd Road intersection next to the bridge. 中華三路/建國三路

Most days and evenings the market is not super busy. But as the annual Chinese New Year break approaches, the alleys are mobbed with locals and visitors buying up food to prepare for the holidays.
