🐟 The Wet Market Myth: Busted! 🌊

Most people think "Wet Markets" get their name from the seafood or the melting ice—but the reality is much more industrial. If you’ve ever walked through Longquan at 8:00 AM, you’ve felt the spray of the high-pressure hoses. It’s a relentless, daily cycle of grit and sanitation that keeps these narrow Taipei alleys alive.

While the supermarket aisles stay dry and sterile, the soul of the traditional market is found in the constant wash of the pavement. It’s not just about the food; it's about a 2026 survival ritual that keeps the "unpolished" side of Taipei running like clockwork. This is the grit you won't find in the tourist brochures.
