The area along Nanhua Road was called Dagangbu and due to its central location in Kaohsiung, it was rapidly developed after the end of Japanese Occupation and renamed as Sinsing District.Around the circle, vendors gathered to sell fresh produce and it has been developed as Sinsing Market.Snack food stands and clothing vendors gradually came to do business along Nanhua Road and formed the Nanhua Night Market.Due to the cheap price and fairly good quality, especially for women accessories, Nanhua Night Market was nicknamed as “Women’s Street.” Due to its proximity of Liouhe Night Market, people often say, “Dining at Liouhe and Shopping at Nanhua!”

In recent years, the Commercial Division of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Kaohsiung City Government have worked together to promote street building program to build Nanhua Shopping Area as an attractive shopping district in Kaohsiung along the merging of two MRT lines.
