Market

Zhuguanlong Township in Shouning County, Fujian Province of China, where the Tea Leaf Market is located, was a tea-rich but poverty-stricken region with vast tea fields and a moso bamboo forest in its mountains. To boost the local tea leaf trading economy, the government and villagers proposed a multi-functional tea leaf market near a bus stop. It could also provide the villagers with a quality public space for gathering, leisure activities, and sharing business opportunities. As a result, a big open space with a large span was built with local materials, craftsmen and building technologies. It could be flexibly used throughout the year with low maintenance costs. Apart from seasonal tea leaf trading, it can serve multiple public purposes. (farm produce trading, festival celebrations, weddings, funerals, outdoor film projection, and children’s activities) 

Since 1906, not a day has gone by without the old South Gate Market being filled with noise, scent, and memories. After 1949, Taiwan’s complex geopolitical position took away the possibility of many family reunions. But when people gathered in this marketplace where the old southern city gate used to stand, preparing the dishes their grandparents once made, they created their own community. Since then, on every New Year’s Eve, the South Gate Market transforms into a crowded, loud space brimming with scents that feel like home.
