Taipei Travel

It was our first night in town after a long 13-1/2 hour flight from USA. After a quick shower and a short catnap, we hit our 1st night market at Linjiang Street Night Market. We were hankering for simple food and found the famous traditional Taiwanese bun (with minced meat, pickled vegetables) with a very long queue. Our next course was the vegetable burrito (with cabbage, bean sprouts, cilantro, & bbq pork). Then we walked around the 2-block area checking out the offerings and edible delights with long queues here and there. Wait! What is that smell ahead? It was the infamous stinky tofu, only the best in Taipei. Time for dessert. With a great variety of vendors, we had a choice of boba drinks, mochi ice cream, walnut pastry, and fruit drinks. There are shops with the latest cell phones accessories for all makes and models, fashion clothes and accessories for everyone, and a general store. Whether walking around with food wrapped in plastic wrap, dished in a cardboard bowl, or served on a skewer, it was DELICIOUS and TASTY ... at Linjiang Street Night Market.

An OK night market, some good food options. If you have time for only one night market, visit Raohe Street instead.

Has the most around it but found this to be overall pretty unimpressive on the food front. The best was fried chicken place near the entrance and a Japanese donut shop on the way to the station. It's a good place to stop by if you've just done the afternoon at taipei 101. 10-15min stroll

Small, local night market with delicious food choices! It seems to be consisted of a main street and several side streets. About 5- to 10-min walk from the MRT station Xinyi Anhe (R04). You won't miss the entrance. We went early in the night around 7 PM in a light rain, but we were delighted with the experience of Taiwanese sausages, Thai sweet crepes and Thai iced tea, steamed stinky tofu noodle soup, grilled chicken butts, deep fried taro cake and rice cake, etc. If you are into foods and a less crowded or less touristy experience this market is a nice one to stop by.

Let yourself plunge into smells and noises of this night market. Be brave and eat food you never tried before
