Visit vintage shops in Taichung! I actually went there.
Taichung is home to historic townscapes and renovation spots such as Miyahara Eye Clinic. It takes about 1 hour by Shinkansen from Taipei, so a day trip is also possible. There are several second-hand clothing stores in the Sogudo and Ichichu areas for young people, where there are many museums and fashionable shops. It's a bit wide, so we recommend getting around the town by bus or on a shared cycle called "U-Bike".
It seems that second-hand fashion isn't that popular in Taiwan, and compared to Japan, the number of stores seems to be smaller, but considering the population, the number of stores is probably sufficient. It seems that second-hand Japanese clothes are popular, and there are many Japanese vintage items from the 80s and 90s. Retro fashion seems to be popular. There was also a second-hand clothing store that had regular vintage items and special items. While buying second-hand clothes from America and Europe, it seems that many of them are also from Japan. Taichung feels a little cheaper than Taipei.

一中精武咸魚 saltedfish
High quality regular clothing store.
https://www.facebook.com/SaltedFishShop2018
On the second floor of the building.
Three vintage clothing stores in Taichung. There are many high-quality regular used clothes for men, women, and unisex. Most of the prices range from 5,000 to 10,000 yen, and you can find interesting second-hand clothes that seem a little more expensive than in Japan. Some items were cheaper than the market price in Japan. Good taste and good selection. I bought a suede hunting vest.
Union mad
Thrift store with a stylish balcony.

Regular used clothes are the main items, but good vintage items are also available. There are both American and European vintages, and a full lineup. Mainly men's. The store is large in the back, and military and work are also available. Is there a slam dunk poster, Shinsengumi? There are clothes from Japan, and you can also find interesting Japanese things. The price range is around 8,000 to 15,000 yen.

There are both men's and women's. Mainly regular second-hand clothes, military, American casual, etc. are well-balanced. There are many standard second-hand clothes, but you can also find unusual items inside. There are many products. The price range is around 5,000 to 10,000 yen. There were many unusual military vintage backpacks.
There are small shops and pop-up shops that sell used clothes in the nearby area, so it's interesting to stroll around this area.

There are also 1st and 2nd basement floors, and 3 floors are spacious.
Men's, women's, and unisex. Mainly men's. They mainly sell regular used clothes from the 80s and 90s, but they also have military, special vintage and euro vintage moleskin work jackets in the basement. The number of products is large and worth seeing. One of my favorite vintage clothing stores in Taichung. Buy 80s Ralph Lauren slacks.
It is interesting that the fitting room is decorated with Japanese noren curtains.

Tour vintage shops in Kaohsiung and Tainan! I actually went there.
The southern part of Taiwan has become a hot topic for its direct flights before. It takes about 2 hours by Shinkansen from Taipei. It's not impossible to make a day trip, but it's recommended to spend two days and one night at your leisure. Tainan is an ancient city with many attractions, and Kaohsiung is a retro port town where renovations are progressing. Especially in Tainan, there are many good second-hand clothing stores. Be aware that many second-hand clothing stores in Kaohsiung are closed on weekdays.
