When speaking of Taipei’s night market food, one you can’t fail to mention is Ningxia Night Market, which is also the birthplace of the city’s night markets. In 2015, it won top honors for being Taipei’s best shopping, best tasting, most charming, most eco-friendly, and friendliest night market.
Ningxia Night Market is located between Minsheng West Road, Nanjing West Road, and Chongqing North Road. It originated during the Japanese Colonial Period with the construction of the nearby traffic circle. This brought vendors and crowds together, who laid witness to Dadaocheng’s splendid era of prosperity. Today’s Ningxia Night Market has been consolidated and renewed, and now more than ever, attracts a steady stream of visitors.
The most unique feature of the Ningxia Commercial District is its numerous historic old shops. In addition, it pioneered the Ningxia Thousand Year Feast, which once again reinforced the Ningxia Night Market’s indisputable position The feast brings together 20 local vendors, all of which have been in business for over 50 years, to jointly launch a roadside banquet. It’s the perfect way to enjoy Ningxia Night Market’s popular cuisine at one time.
The Ningxia Commercial District is called “the gastronomical heart of Taipei.” Here you can try all of Taiwan’s traditional snacks. In fact, Taiwan's largest braised-pork-on-rice chain restaurant first rose to fame here. Also known far and wide is the sesame oil chicken soup. With its rich sesame oil flavor, it is a favorite of connoisseurs. Other traditional foods that inspire nostalgia include shark’s fin potage, Tainan’s savory rice pudding (wa gui), and taro cakes. This appetizing and memorable night market has something for everyone, and is not to be missed!
