Local creativity passes on Fengshan culture and revitalizes shopping district economy

Chung-Hua Street Shopping District is a vital food district for locals surrounded by rich cultural monuments such as Fengshan Old City, the Caogong Canal, and Caogong Temple. Thanks to the Economic Development Bureau (EDB) setting up an innovation base to help the transformation of this district, many more people have been attracted to learn about the charm of Chung-Hua Street, which has revitalized the local economy.

The innovation base, which brings the community and store owners together to build consensus, is named after Fengshan's old Taiwanese name Ē-pi-thâu - Shopping & Talk in English. It is hoped that with a team of professionals stationed there to promote the development of the district's characteristics and drive creativity, the shopping district will continue to preserve the traditional cultural elements of Fengshan and create precious local memories that facilitate coexistence with the neighboring residents and stores. Ultimately, the goal is to attract more people to enjoy the rich history and charm of Fengshan.
