Taipei : Night Market City 2

What is night market?? In ancient China, markets that operated at night were known as ghost markets. Now called night markets, these markets offer a wide variety of authentic Taiwanese food and drink as well as unique Taiwanese products. They are both practical and inexpensive, and play an important part in the lives of Taiwanese people.


Jingmei Night Market


 
Jingmei is a neighborhood in Taipei City. Formerly an administrative district, in 1990 it merged with Muzha into Wenshan District. Jingmei is located south of Taipei Main Station, the city's main transportation hub. Jingmei is known for its locally famous night market.

Many vendors and shops selling hardware, cassettes, clothes, and accessories are gathered in the 30-years-old Jingmei old street. Moreover, there is a "Jingmei Public Market" of various food and beverage stands and shops on Jingmei new street.

Tucked away in Tonghua and Linjiang Street between downtown Taipei's two busiest traffic arteries - Sinyi Road Section 4 and Keelung Road Section 2 - is the Tonghua Night Market. Many reasonably priced teppanyaki restaurants can be found here. Other famous foods here include red-flower Taiwanese grilled sausages; Taiwanese steamed sandwiches, deep dried or stewed stinky tofu, and sushi. There are of course the more commonly seen Taiwanese snacks like thick soup with shrimp, fish or pork, oyster omelets, pan-fried Shanghai-style meat buns, and steamed or pan-fried dumplings. Juice bars selling fresh fruit juices, teas and other sweet cold drinks are another attraction. Its location and size make the market a suitable place for visitors on a tight schedule.
