Relocation of Nanmen Market to a Makeshift Market during Reconstruction – Closed for Business for 10 Days – First Time in History
According to the Taipei Market Administration Office, Nanmen Market was built in 1981, and this year coincides with its 38th anniversary. To offer a better shopping environment and accommodate the construction of the MRT Wanda Line, the Nanmen building will be demolished in December 2019, and it will be closed for 10 days starting on October 7 for relocation.

The Nanmen makeshift market is scheduled to commence a soft opening on October 17 (No. 55, Sec. 2, Hangzhou S. Rd.). Nanmen Market will continue the heritage and traditional flavors of its predecessor; it will also strive to enhance its product quality during the recess.

A farewell party will be held on the last day of the opening of the old Nanmen Market (October 6), inviting the public to bear witness to the history of Nanmen Market with the stalls and offer a word of encouragement to the stalls being relocated.
