I have been to the Jade Market twice and have found some beautiful jewelry there. You must be picky and you must be ready to bargain with the vendors. I enjoy the searching through the hundreds of tables of items to see if you can find just what you can't live without. In the afternoon they seem to be more willing to drop prices.

I love the weeknd market because of the enormous collection of flowers and plants and home wares related to the garden is available. the jade market across is great for buying souvenirs.

This was by far the coolest place I have been in Taipei to buy Jade and other souvenirs. But unfortunately it is kinda small. But if you want to look at flowers and plants, check out the flower market right across from the Jade market.
