The people of Myanmar who put down roots in Zhonghe’s Huahsin Street

All foreign tourists who have traveled to Taiwan are familiar with the enthusiasm of Taiwanese people. Huahsin Street (華新街) in New Taipei City is also known as Myanmar Street. New immigrants living here have created a sense of belonging and enriched the diverse culture of Taiwan.

This short street is filled from end to end with the traditional hometown flavors of Myanmar. For overseas Chinese who have immigrated here from Myanmar, Huahsin Street’s familiar food and greetings in familiar accents keeps cherished memories alive. Myanmar Street not only enriches Taiwanese culture but is also a gathering place for new immigrants to hang out and soothe the pangs of homesickness.

緬人來台落地生根 中和華新街文化共融

凡是到過台灣旅遊的外籍遊客對於台灣人的熱情可以說是相當不陌生，位於新北市華興街又稱作緬甸街，生活在這的新住民不僅是創造了家的歸屬感，更豐富了台灣的文化內涵。

短短一條街上飄散著傳統特色小吃的家鄉味，搭配著熟悉的問候聲，在這條街上充斥著滿滿的異國風情，而這對緬甸華僑或是緬甸人來說都是無可取代的家鄉記憶。緬甸街，不只增添台灣文化色彩，更成為新住民之間相互照應的集散地，也讓離家的鄉愁感變得溫馨許多。
