NTNU Humanistic Surrounding Treasure Hunting in Chao Ho Ting Market
Summer afternoon, walking around NTNU, had you ever noticed the Chao Ho Ting market at the junction of Yung-kang Street and Chao-chou Street? It was just right behind NTNU library division. In the morning, it slept under Long-an library; at night, artists started to gather together and made remarks of the antiques. The air was smell of Taiwan local tea.
The name of Chao Ho Ting was used from the period of Japanese occupation. The Chao Ho Ting market now was once the traditional market gradually turned into the antique market. The market sold things from antiques, old-time daily supplies, and second-hand books to tea, curio, and pottery. The shops around included many galleries, second-hand bookstores, art stores, Japanese restaurant, and Taiwanese restaurant.
Lots of professors and students from NTNU often strolled around the market to look for some special things. One of the sellers Chen indicated that the young people now view antiques on the Internet instead of making a collection of antiques. The entire seller expected Chao Ho Ting would be popular once again
