I was walking near the Shuanglian station of the Taipei Metro. The ground floor of a building on the street is recessed into the sidewalk. The sidewalk is embedded into the building.
This type of sidewalk is often seen in Southeast Asian countries other than Taiwan. In hot countries, this type of sidewalk is probably desired in order to avoid the sun. The sidewalks are completely shaded, so you can walk around and not be exposed to the sun. It is very comfortable. It seems that a place that is convenient for walkers is also convenient for businesses, and there were people doing business here and there along the shaded sidewalks.
Here, too, there were people doing business at a large table at the edge of the sidewalk. The table was lined with bananas, mangoes, dragon fruit, and various other fruits, and the woman shopkeeper sat down beside the table as if she were an extra. A shopper had just arrived at such a street-side fruit store and began chatting with the owner.
