Shopping 購物

When you walk down Wenhua Road for the first time, you may find it hard to resist the temptation to buy clothes, knickknacks and jewelry from millions of vendors who set up a shop and overflow the narrow street as soon as the sun is about to set.

After 7-8 p.m., unbearable crowds of shoppers transform this road into a hectic market. Here, you can find anything you need to survive at Feng Chia University without ever having to go downtown! Most of the clothes are cheap — in price and quality — but with a little bit of browsing, good bargains surely can be found. You'll see lots of replicated designer items such as Ralph Lauren, DKNY, Versace and Calvin Klein.

Preparation

Pack light

There is no need to pack your whole wardrobe and bring every type of toiletry item you can get your hands on. You can find just about every necessity in Taichung for a reasonable price. We recommnend saving some space in your suitcase to bring back some sovenirs or for things you bought here.

Below are some items you should definitely bring:

Aside from the items above, you can find everything you need in Taichung. Again, pack light, perhaps enough clothes to last you a 2 weeks. On your first night, you will probably make a trip to Carrefour, a hypermarket 15 minutes away, to buy what you need for the first month.
