Sanchiaoyung(三角湧)

Xinhua Old Street is located at Zhongzheng Rd. in Tainan’s Xinhua District. It was once a “Sanchiaoyung” (delta) formed by the intersection of two old streets, Zhongshan Rd. (Xibian St.) and Zhongzheng Rd. (Nanbian St.). In the past, farmers from the hills set up a market here. “Sanchiaoyung” stood for how prosperous Xinhua Old Street once was. The convenience of its location meant a market naturally sprung up within a hundred-meter radius. Business was so good that it was known as the “Ximending of Xinhua” among the older generation.
