noun market towns · market-town
- A town that has a traditional right to hold a regular market. P'ing-tung was settled nearly 200 years ago and thus did not benefit from city planning under the Japanese administration (1895-1945). It is a typical market town with numerous light industries including rattan weaving, small machine shops and woodworking shops. A military airbase is located nearby.
