The Resurgence of Taichung Fourth Market

Taichung Fourth Market was built in 1932, but in the 1970s, with the establishment of the neighboring Jianguo Market and local population outflow, the market gradually declined and closed. Fortunately, thanks to the joint efforts of many people, the market was listed as a historic building in 2015, before being preserved and reopened in 2021. The market has been transformed into a cultural and creative base providing light food and a variety of other culinary specialties, as well as occasionally holding bazaars and exhibitions.

The revamped Taichung Fourth Market provides the public with a new and radically different market experience. It is hoped that the newly reborn Taichung Fourth Market will become a model for the future regeneration of Taiwan's historic buildings and an example for other cities to follow.

台中第四市場的東山再起

台中第四市場興建於1932年，但在1970年代隨著鄰近的建國市場設立、聚落人口的流失，消費人口大不如前，導致市場逐漸沒落，因而歇業。經由眾人的努力，2015被列為歷史建築，才得以保留下來。2021年重新開幕，並以市場元素開發輕食及特色餐點，並且不定期的舉辦市集及展覽，轉型為文創基地。

改造後的第四市場也為大眾帶來一個全新的、截然不同的市場型態，希望今天的第四市場能夠成為未來臺灣老建築再生的典範，成為其他城市可借鏡的範例。
