Guanghua Jade Market

Jade is one of the most cherished gemstones by Chinese people and holds a very important place in Chinese culture. Ancient Chinese often wore jade at their waist, and the imperial seals of monarchs were also made of jade. Today, many jade carvings are crafted into Buddha statues, necklaces, phone charms, and other items, worn for protection, making them favorites of many. For a long time, numerous businesses and street vendors around the Guanghua commercial district have sold jade and antiques here. Due to their significant number, this area gradually developed into a hub for jade items, forming the Guanghua Jade Market. It is Taipei City's popular market for jade and gemstones, second only to the Jianguo Weekend Jade Market. The jade articles sold here come in all sizes and are affordably priced, but their quality varies. Therefore, those intending to buy jade here should first develop their connoisseurship and compare prices at three different vendors to avoid being taken advantage of. In short, by observing, listening, asking, learning a lot, and making careful selections, you are sure to find a treasure.
