The historic establishment of Da-an Park--the newest, largest patch of green in downtown Taipei--in the early '90s, and the introduction of the two-day weekend in 1998, dramatically increased weekend and holiday crowds in the tiny Yungkang area. It also became a culinary mecca for foreign tourists.
永康街另一個歷史轉捩點發生在 1990 年代初期大安森林公園落成，成為台北市中心面積最大的綠地空間，加上 1998 年起「週休二日制」陸續實施，導致永康社區這塊彈丸之地的假日人潮遽增，並成為外國觀光客品嚐美食的朝聖處。
