Sanmin Road, about 650 meters long, is famous as a street of selling
furniture and has more than 200 stores. There are large-sized kinds
of furniture like office furniture, tables, and beds and small kinds
like exquisite ornament, decoration for a family hall for worshipping
Buddha, children's toy, classical lanterns, modern lamps, indoor
decoration, display window design, carving, picture framing, etc.
Go shopping here and you wouldn't be disappointed. Besides, you can
not only compare the goods in one store and in another, but also find
it low-priced and worthwhile.

Sanmin Road's forming, flourishing, and recession are just in
the near 50 years. In April 1950, the Nationalist Party (Kuomintang,
KMT) is confronting with the Conmunist Party (CP), and it's also
a tensional time of a military conflict in Taiwan Strait because the
Nationalist Government moved to Taiwan in 1949. In order to foster
long-term backbone of military strength, the government moved the
Huang-Pu Military School and the general headquarters of the army
to Fengshan. This brings unprecedented commercial opportunity. |

The requirement of wooden furniture which the Military Academy
needs is huge. At that time, there is only a store, “Chuan-Mei Furniture
Store(全美家具行)” Now, it's on No. 141Sanmin
Rd., and its name was changed to be “New Chuan-Mei Furniture Store
(新泉美家具行)”. Because numerous furniture
stores opened, the “Street of Furniture” was formed, and the related
business bloomed. Many people in southern Taiwan went furniture shopping
here for dowry, business, etc, and many farmers in country came to
buy dowry even by taking oxcart. Sanmin Road was not built in one
day. The road is almost the same for forty years. |

Sanmin Road is generally acknowledged to be Fengshan City's “Kai
Chuang First Street(開莊第一街)”. It was formed
when Cheng Cheng- Kung(鄭成功) led native people
to expel Dutchmen. Many immigrants from Chuan(泉)
and Chang(漳), Fuchien (福建)Province
or Hakka immigrants from Kuangtung(廣東) Province
stayed near Sanmin Road. Before Kaohsiung Harbor and Yencheng(鹽埕)
Commercial Area was established by Japanese, Sanmin Road was the largest
and most prosperous fair besides the provincial capital. It's next
to Tainan City, an old, cultural, commercial, and military city. And
it's worthy for us to treasure. |
