台北第一魚市果菜批發市場，位在華中橋台北市側 (台北市萬華區萬大路533號)，是目前台北市最大的魚貨及蔬菜水果批發市場，地位應該有如築地魚市之於東京一樣吧。然而魚貨拍賣市場第一是開放時間很早，魚貨大概凌晨兩點就開始陸續卸魚，而拍賣四點就開始，對一般人實在是有點早。第二，也是最重要的，魚貨拍賣市場不對外開放，所以一般人想去看也沒辦法。還好都有團體可以安排導覽的服務 (https://play.niceday.tw/product/992)，就趁回台短短的時間，來去參觀一下。
Taipei first fruit and vegetable wholesale market locates in the southwestern corner of Taipei-City, (No.533, Wanda Rd., Wanhua Dist., Taipei City 108, Taiwan), is the biggest wholesale market for the fresh fish, fruit and vegetable in Taipei City. Its role for supplying fresh fish to Taipei City is allegedly as similar as Tsukiji fish market to Tokyo, so i was interested in visiting there since some time. However, it opens early in the morning, as other wholesale auction fish markets in the world. The fresh fish arrive the market since 2 AM and the auction starts at 4 Am. In addition, only people with permission are allowed to enter the auction market. Fortunately, there is a tour host available (https://play.niceday.tw/product/992, only traditional Chinese version), and I registered one as i was in Taipei.

除了蔬菜水果魚，市場附近也有很多現做的豆腐店，一大早就做出最新鮮的板豆腐。這家店很親切地提供現榨無糖豆漿給大家喝。
Besides
the vegs, fruits and fish, around the market there are a few tofu
shops, producing fresh tofu in traditional style (the tofu is kept
between wood plates, so that this style is called "plate tofu" in
mandarin, meaning hard tofu). This shop is kindly offering us hot fresh
soybean juice, based on which tofu is made.
