Yizhong St., North Dist., Taichung City 404, Taiwan (R.O.C.)
Head to Yizhong Street (一中街) in Taichung if you want to experience the student life in Taichung. This area is named after the nearby First Senior High School, which is the most outstanding high school in central Taiwan.
The newly opened Yimin Commercial District to the north mainly sells 3C products, while in the south, near the train station, there are numerous sports equipment stores, creating a well-defined shopping district that makes it easy for out-of-town visitors to navigate. .
The area is also home to two other major universities, and many students used to come here for meals after class, leading to a surge in foot traffic. As a result, the small street vendors originally catering to students have gradually transformed into snack shops, tea houses, and clothing stores due to rising rent prices. .
Yizhong Street (一中街) is also home to the largest cram school district in central Taiwan, similar to Taipei's Nanyang Street. After 5 pm, the streets are filled with high school students in their uniforms, and the area used to have many billiard halls and internet cafes..
Although some foreign travelers refer to this area as Yizhong Night Market, in reality, shops start opening after noon, and the commercial area extends to the surrounding department stores. While the food options here may not be as exciting as Fengjia Night Market, many famous beverage shops in central Taiwan have their roots in Yizhong Street (一中街).
