HISTORY
The earliest settlers in the area were Tai-
wanese aborigines who lived off the land,
growing taro and millet and hunting animals.
Civilisation was late to arrive here and it
wasn't until the early 18th century that a city
was founded in Changhua county. The city
was named Dadun, meaning 'large mound'.In
1721, the Qing dynasty - who already con-
trolled much of western Taiwan - erected a
garrison close to what is now Taichung Park,
thereby increasing the area's importance.
The rule of the Qing dynasty was far from
smooth, however, with the local tribal people
revolting against the imposition of slavery on
their people.Aboriginal people from across
the region joined forces to face their oppres-
sors, but were eventually forced to flee to the
mountains in 1732, just one year after the
start of the rebellion.In 1786, a second rebel-
lion sprang up in the nearby town of Dali, this
time staged by members of the Ming dynasty.
Led by Lin Shuang-wen, the rebels attempted
to depose the residing Manchu government
and reinstate their own leaders. The rebellion
was ill-structured, however, and eventually
quashed by a united army comprising troops
from Fujian and Quanzhou as well as aborigi-
nal volunteers.The Qing dynasty successfully
retained control over Taiwan, and named the
island as an official Chinese province in 1885.
Taiwan city was made capital of the Taiwan
prefecture by Liu Ming-chuan, a status it lost
four years later to the city of Taipei when
Liu was forced to step down by Empress
Dowager Cixi.China's defeat in the first
Sino-Japanese War saw the Qing dynasty
obliged to hand over Taiwan to the Japanese
in the Treaty of Shimonoseki. The Japanese
changed Dadun's name to Taichung and sub-
sequently set about developing it to become
Taiwan's first modern urban area.

Xitun District, Taichung, Taiwan. The market

claimed to be the largest night market in Tai-
wan. Fengchia night market was established
in 1963, established along with Feng Chia
College of Engineering and Business (now

ularity stimulated the business of the nearby
residential military dependents' village. Food/
drink stands, gracious stores, restaurants,
were established along Wen-hua road (thus
the night market is also called Wenhua night
market), then expanding to Fengjia road, Fux-
ing road, Xi'an street etc.On October 5, 2006,
a managing committee of Fengjia Shopping
Town has been established by the Depart-
ment of Economic Development of Taichung,
covering the surrounding areas such as Feng
Chia night market, Bento street, etc., thus
