				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Taipei-Night-Markets.jpg" alt="Taipei Night Markets" width="1200" height="630" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-206890" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Be it your first time or second time to Taipei, one thing that you must include in your itinerary is a trip to one of Taipei&#8217;s night markets. We love night markets for the splendid array of street food (at reasonable prices), the lively atmosphere and simply the thrill of getting our hands on cheap clothing or goods!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Admittedly, most would only cater time to visit the more commercialised or popularised night markets such as Shilin Night Market or Raohe Street Night Market, but there are plenty of other undiscovered night markets in Taipei that deserve your time too. And, why only visit one or two night markets during your visit to Taipei when you could go to many more?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here are <strong>12 Night Markets In Taipei You Should Include In Your Itinerary. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-135371"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-135683" alt="Guangzhou Street Night Market" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Guangzhou-Street-Night-Market.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">#1 GUANGZHOU STREET NIGHT MARKET</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For a better feel of what a local and authentic night market in Taipei is like, Guangzhou Street Night Market will be a great place to visit. As one of the oldest night markets in Taiwan, Guangzhou Street Night Market is preferred by locals and is part of the Longshan Temple Night Market area.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Apart from regular street food that you can find in other night markets, some interesting dishes that you can try include pig feet, frog soup and glutinous rice. Visitors can also get up to plenty of fun games where you can play the night away. However, do take note that this is not a place to visit if you are searching for good clothing deals.</p>
<p><strong>Guangzhou Street Night Market</strong><br />
Lane 152, Guangzhou Street, Wanhua District,<br />
Taipei City, Taiwan 108<br />
Daily: 4pm &#8211; 12am<br />
Nearest Station: Longshan Temple</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-135685" alt="Gongguan Night Market" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Gongguan-Night-Market.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>

<p><span style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">#2 GONGGUAN NIGHT MARKET </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Located right beside Exit 1 of Gongguan Station, Gongguan Night Market is the biggest night market in the South district of Taipei City. The night market is strategically located in the midst of a business district, which allows visitors to browse through clothing and accessory stores, portrait studios, coffee shops and more.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Due to its close proximity to the National Taiwan University, majority of the traffic at this night market are made up of students. Yes, this means that prices are less steep and in fact pretty reasonable! And why not pick up some QinWaZhuangNai i.e. famous bubble milk tea in the area, whilst exploring the night market?</p>
<p><strong>Gongguan Night Market</strong><br />
Section 3, Luosifu Road,<br />
Zhongzheng District, Taipei City<br />
Daily: 3pm &#8211; 11:45pm<br />
Nearest Station: Gongguan</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">#3 HUAXI STREET NIGHT MARKET </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Huaxi Street Night Market is another one of Taiwan&#8217;s more traditional markets. You would not have a hard time finding this night market as a large, red palace-style archway marks the entrance to the market which is open throughout the day.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Plenty of old, historical shops occupy the streets of Huaxi Street Night Market and you would be able to find plenty of yummy street foods to indulge in! For instance, this is where the Danzai noodle restaurant business began and something interesting you can try is the <em>snake soup</em>—a dish unique to Huaxi Street Night Market. Otherwise, why not take part in some fortune-telling or simply go for a good massage?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Huaxi Street Night Market</strong><br />
Huaxi Street, Wanhua District<br />
Taipei City, Taiwan 108<br />

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Photo Credit: Wikipedia</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">#4 LEHUA NIGHT MARKET </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The origins of Lehua Night Market date back to the early 1970s, and this night market is located in the Yonghe District which is famous for its delicious soya bean drink. Offering a wonderful mix of street food stalls, shopping and entertainment facilities, this is an all-in-one market where you will never feel bored.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another night market that is a favourite of many locals, this night market is wider and easier to navigate even for those who are visiting for the first time. Unfortunately, due to noise complaints from the neighbouring areas surrounding the market, Lehua Night Market may be closed down soon. Quick, make sure this night market is on your to-go list if you are visiting Taipei soon!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Lehua Night Market</strong><br />
Yongping Road, Yonghe District,<br />

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">#5 LIAONING STREET NIGHT MARKET </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Located a stone&#8217;s throw away from Fuju Temple, Liaoning Street Night Market is a popular night market that often draws mostly locals, unlike other regular night markets in Taipei. Thus, this is the best night market to visit to avoid tourists but yet have a taste of authentic Taiwanese cuisine.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some delicious street food that you can try include the oyster omelette, boiled squid, mochi and oden cooking. The seafood stir-fry shop at the night market is also very popular and this is where you can get your seafood fix, cooked according to your preference.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Liaoning Street Night Market<br />
</strong>Liaoning Street, Zhongshan District<br />
Taipei City, Taiwan 10491<br />
Daily: 4pm &#8211; 2am<br />
Nearest Station: Nanjing East Road</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#6 NANJICHANG NIGHT MARKET </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nanjichang Night Market is another night market which has not been tainted by tourism and is recognised for its ruggedness and truly Taiwanese character. A hot favourite of the locals, you would hardly see any tourists in the area which means that you are in for a night of authentic Taiwan street food and culture.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Albeit slightly smaller in size than other notable night markets such as the Shilin Night Market, the street food offered at Nanjichang Night Market does not pale in comparison. One identifying trait of this night market is that all street foods offered at night will be available even during the day. Rest assured also that Nanjichang Night Market is budget-friendly and would not burn a hole in your pocket.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Nanjichang Night Market<br />

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">#7 NINGXIA NIGHT MARKET</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Like Nanjichang Night Market, Ningxia Night Market is a smaller night market which offers just as fantastic street food as the larger ones do. This is a nostalgic night market where you can stuff yourself silly with all the Taiwanese snacks available such as fried yam balls, oyster omelette and braised pork rice!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you need a break from all the food, consider participating in some games or shopping in the southern part of the night market. A well-balanced night market adventure, we&#8217;d say.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ningxia Night Market</strong><br />
Ningxia Road, Datong District<br />
Taipei City, Taiwan 103<br />

<p style="text-align: justify;"><a title="Taipei’s Raohe Street Night Market – 15 Tips On What To Eat And What To Do" href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2017/03/taipei-raohe-night-market/"><span style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">#8 RAOHE STREET NIGHT MARKET </span></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Raohe Street Night Market is one of the oldest night markets in Taipei, which has been extremely well-received and usually considered a must-visit for all tourists. Spreading out along a 600-metre path of Raohe Street in the Songshan District, have tons of fun exploring all the different interesting and delicious street foods and snacks, shops and stalls and even carnival activities available there.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A word of advice—7pm would be a good time to drop by this night market as most vendors usually only begin setting up their stalls at 5pm.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Raohe Street Night Market</strong><br />
Rao He Street, Songshan District<br />

<p style="text-align: justify;">Looking for a trendy night market? Shida Night Market is waiting for you! This night market is located within the Da&#8217;an District, which is known for its upmarket and hipster vibes and is home to several rock bars, cafes and restaurants. Best of all, visitors would appreciate that Shida Night Market is well-organised, quaint and compact, as compared to other larger and messier night markets.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Offering an incredible selection of delightful street food and cheap clothes from stylish boutiques, you would find plenty of young entrepreneurs cum vendors in this night market. Thus, a visit to this night market would be a great way to extend some support for the local fashion community whilst securing good clothing deals.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Shilin Night Market is famous for their impressive selection of authentic Taiwan eateries and fashionable clothing boutiques. A newly-renovated building of Shilin Night Market comprises three basement floors and one ground floor. Just think, 94 food vendors on Level B1; how amazing is that?

As a relatively low-key market, this is where you can escape for good Taiwanese street food without all the hustle and bustle of overly-commercialised night markets.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some dishes you can try include steam goose meat in goose soup stock and Chiayi Chick Rice. For desserts, favourites include Granny&#8217;s old-style flavour sweet noodles and jelly fig ice.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/tag/taiwan-best-attractions/">Taiwan is a favourite holiday destination in Asia for many reasons.</a> Besides indulging in endless amounts of sweet and savoury street snacks, there are also many places of interests to visit.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can also experience a little more of the Taiwanese culture by taking a trip down to the more rural areas of the country, such as Hualien—known for their beautiful mountainous areas and landscapes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Whether it&#8217;s your first time visiting <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/tag/taipei-night-markets/">the land of night markets</a>, or even if you have already been there multiple times, Taiwan will always retain its charm and city life that will leave you wanting more. Here&#8217;s a condensed 6D5N itinerary of our trips, where we explored beyond Taipei and the <strong>22 things to see, do and eat in Taiwan</strong>.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">3.15pm: You’ve seen them sell out rapidly on Singapore’s 7-11 shelves but in Taiwan, these bottles of milk tea are constantly available in vast quantities. The drink comes in various flavours, such as Café Au Lait, Matcha Latte, Sumiyaki and more. The best part? They’re at least two times cheaper than what you’ll find here in Singapore.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Besides that, the convenience stores stock up on amazing amounts of microwaveable food, chips, pastries and more that make for great midnight snack stashes.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#2 VISIT FENGJIA NIGHT MARKET</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">7.30pm: The experience here was (and always will be) <i>crazy,</i> to say the least. The crowd—especially during dinner hour—was unbelievable. We had to squeeze through the people-packed streets, but the street food such as the huge takoyaki, sweet potato puffs and taro chips made it all worth it. You could easily spend hours walking up and down the street and trying everything!</p>

<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">7.30pm: This night market is the most popular one in Hualien, simply because it is huge, and even has little game stores for you to try out. Some of the food we tried included cheese omelettes, grilled squid, and even a kebab wrap!</p>

<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">11am: Just a 15-minute ride from Ximending Station on the metro line, Da&#8217;an Park is apparently one of the ‘richer’ parts of Taiwan, but the scenery is no less beautiful.

<p style="text-align: justify;">3pm: This is the Southern region of Taipei—within walking distance from Da&#8217;an Park—and is arguably the ‘hipster-haven’ of Taipei which is popular among Taiwanese youths.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You’ll find a huge range of stores with different styles to shop from. Look out for a huge Forever 21 outlet located right outside the train station.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Be prepared to queue for about 20-30 minutes but fret not, for the wait will be worth it as their biscuits and pastries taste amazing. If you&#8217;re not sure what to get, try their Sun Cakes, Milk Cakes, and Pineapple Tarts.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/tag/taipei-travel-guide/">Visited Taipei countless of times</a> and beginning to find yourselves tired of the ubiquitous skyscrapers?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Then perhaps it is time to venture out of the city and explore what Taiwan&#8217;s serene rural areas have to offer. Furthermore, plenty of scientific research have also proved that the exposure to natural landscapes indeed reduces one&#8217;s stress levels significantly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here is our guide to <strong>5 Must-Visit Scenic Countryside Destinations in Taiwan</strong>. These tranquil and natural Taiwanese beauties are the answers for both outdoor adventurers and worn-out city dwellers who are looking for a temporary escapade.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-72827"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-52323" alt="Jiufen Tea House" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Jiufen-Tea-House.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2015/07/taiwan-jiufen-food/" target="_blank">#1 JIUFEN</a></span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">Jiufen is a mountainous attraction located at the Rui Fang District in New Taipei City. Previously an isolated village with only nine families, Jiufen flourished and grew rapidly following the discovery of gold during the Japanese Occupation. Today, it is one of the most popular destinations amongst both Taiwanese locals and travellers from all walks of life.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Other than being a popular filming spot, Jiufen is home to a vast variety of incredible street food and traditional homemade snacks where tourists can take home packaged bites at extremely affordable prices.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fun fact: Legendary Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki was so inspired by Jiufen that he had illustrated it in his award-winning film Spirited Away.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72864" alt="qing shui cliff" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/qing-shui-cliff.jpg" width="710" height="483" /></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#2 QINGSHUI CLIFF</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">The 21-kilometre stretch of coastal cliffs located in Hualien County is a stunning landscape. Head to the lowest point, Qing He Beach, where you can walk along the pebbled coast and marvel at nature&#8217;s magnificence.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Looking up, we were blown away by how tiny we actually are! The height of the towering cliffs range from approximately 800 to 2400 metres.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Qingshui Cliff has been coined as one of the island&#8217;s Eight Wonders. The beautiful ocean transits from a light shade of blue to a darkish tone of blue and the pebbles lining up the coast are each unique. The beach is a wonderful place to meditate with the soothing sounds of crashing waves, but note that swimming is strictly prohibited.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72888" alt="sunmoonlake taiwan" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/sunmoonlake-taiwan.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#3 SUN MOON LAKE</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sun Moon Lake&#8217;s special terrains resemble the sun from one side and the crescent moon on the other end, hence gaining its apt name. Despite being a countryside destination, Sun Moon Lake itself attracts six million annual visits for its diverse ecological system, indigenous tribes and gorgeous scenery. The Taiwanese wonder is also Taiwan&#8217;s largest freshwater lake.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" async=""></script><!-- 336 X 280 Within Content --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1199323522078805" data-ad-slot="9464314347"></ins><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

// ]]&gt;</script></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are many entertainment and activities available at Sun Moon Lake, but it is best to do your research prior to arrival.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Visitors can view pretty cherry blossoms in full bloom in February, cycle on the world&#8217;s best cycling paths or celebrate the Harvest Festival with Thao aborigines on the first day of the seventh lunar month and on the second day of the eighth lunar month.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72875" alt="taroko gorge" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/taroko-gorge.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#4 TAROKO NATIONAL PARK</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">The 920 km² wide Taroko National Park is renowned for its iconic landmark &#8211; The Taroko Gorge.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Spanning across Hualien County, Nantou County and Taichung Municipality, it will take more than a day to fully explore Taroko National Park. The spectacular marble geological features were formed since 200 million years ago and are still morphing at a gradual rate.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Visitors can borrow helmets for free from the Visitor&#8217;s Centre to protect themselves from rockfalls. If you are travelling without a tour guide, do bring along a portable torch light as you might have to walk through a few tunnels in complete darkness. You can also expect suspension footbridges, plunging waterfalls and lush vegetation. Always check the weather before visiting Taroko!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" async=""></script><!-- 336 X 280 Within Content --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1199323522078805" data-ad-slot="9464314347"></ins><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72876" alt="yushan national park" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/yushan-national-park.jpg" width="710" height="486" /></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#5 YUSHAN NATIONAL PARK</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">Yushan National Park boasts not just the highest point in Taiwan, but also the tallest peak in Northeast Asia. The tallest mountain &#8211; standing at 3,952 meters &#8211; boasts jaw-dropping scenery that would have you pinching yourself. We were literally walking in the clouds and were ecstatic on how surreal it felt! Till date, it remains one of our most memorable experiences.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">More than half of Yushan National Park is elevated at above 2,000 meters, hence those suffering from altitude sickness should be warned that they might suffer from nausea and lightheadedness. Temperatures at Yushan National Park vary drastically due to its dramatic altitudes, but that makes the place a suitable habitat for many flora and fauna.</p>
