Taiwan Travel Taiwan Travel Guide Taiwanese snacks have always been spread by word of mouth. The best way to eat all the local delicacies at once is to go to the night market.
Night markets are closely connected to the lives of Taiwanese people. In Taiwan, almost every city has a night market, whether in Taipei, Taichung or Kaohsiung. From north to south, Taipei’s Normal University Night Market, Raohe Street Night Market, Shilin Night Market, and Taichung’s Feng
Jia Night Market, Zhonghua Night Market, Donghai Night Market, Liuhe Night Market in Kaohsiung, Guanghua Night Market, etc.
The night market is no longer just an exclusive snack world. Whether it is traditional or trendy, you can find everything here to eat, drink and have fun. It is not only a culture, an affordable pastime, but also the closest living habit.

What’s a bit unexpected about Taipei’s Shilin Night Market is that it’s actually an indoor plaza similar to a market. Of course, this also has its benefits. No matter it’s windy or rainy outside, business is still booming inside.
But the downside is that although there is air conditioning, it is still very hot and you will sweat wherever you sit.
The more than 100-meter-long night market is crisscrossed by branching roads extending in all directions, and there is an endless stream of people at the door of every stall.
The various snacks on both sides of the road are not the same, each one is unique. Listening to the shouts with local accents, I kept my eyes wide open as I walked, for fear of missing something delicious, and the aroma came to my nostrils one after another.

"Small cake wrapped in big cake" is the most interesting snack here and a specialty of Shilin Night Market.
Small pancakes are filled with fillings of different flavors, deep-fried, broken into pieces and wrapped in large pancakes. The flavors range from sweet, like peanuts, taro, and jujube; to salty, like curry and spicy.
In addition to "small cakes wrapped in big cakes", there is also "large intestine wrapped in small intestine". It seems that Taiwanese people like to wrap the small ones in the big ones and eat them.
If you have time, go to Kaohsiung and visit the Liuhe Night Market there. Liuhe Night Market is the most famous snack night market in Kaohsiung City. It stretches for more than 350 meters from Zhongshan 1st Road to Zili 2nd Road.
There are popular steakhouses with low decoration but very affordable prices, as well as spacious and bright hot pot restaurants. Every evening, there are even rows of food stalls gathering, selling seafood, mountain products, local delicacies, ice cream, etc., and there are many diners and guests.
, the cheers and cheers came and went, and it was very lively.
Different from the indoor environment of Shilin Night Market, Liuhe Night Market is an open-air street with some indoor restaurants on both sides of the street. It feels like a Hong Kong women's street.
The snacks here are even more diverse. Of course, in addition to snacks, there are also clothes, trinkets, toys and pop music CDs. There are even pet shops selling mini pigs. These are important commodities in the night market.
Not only can the items at the night market be bargain-priced, but the varieties, styles, and patterns will definitely keep up with the trend.
Taiwan Travel Taiwan Travel Guide When you come to Taiwan, how can you forget that it is rich in fruits, such as mangoes and black diamond lotus mist, which are super fresh.
I really have that feeling of "What should I do if I can't eat anymore in the future?"... Night markets, small stalls, small tea shops, no matter where you are, in a corner of the city where interpersonal relationships are increasingly cold, you can feel a different kind of atmosphere.
Warmth, that is not just a material satisfaction.
If you have the opportunity to go to Taiwan, don’t forget to experience it for yourself.
