Zhonghua Night Market Introduction
Zhonghua Road Night Market, located around Zhonghua Road in the Central District of Taichung City, is one of Taichung's early famous night markets. Established for over 40 years, it was one of the busiest commercial districts in Taichung during the 1960s and 1970s. Later, with the fluctuations in the economy and the relocation of the municipal center, it transformed into Zhonghua Road Tourist Night Market. Most food stalls on Zhonghua Road operate from 5 PM to 4 AM, offering a variety of Taiwanese snacks from north to south, as well as international cuisine. Notable snacks include the signature raw green oysters from Zhiwei Stall, various types of porridge, Tanzi stinky tofu, Chenji herbal tea shop, and Ah Shui's noodle stand, as well as Milk King and sour plum juice. The famous Singapore Bak Kut Teh is also one of the recommended old shops. After half a century of development, Zhonghua Night Market has gradually evolved into a tourist night market that blends traditional and modern styles, retaining the classic flavors of old shops while incorporating new types of vendors, moving towards a more refined development. Although it places more emphasis on preserving traditional characteristics compared to other younger night markets, its unique historical atmosphere allows visitors to experience the rich culture and nostalgic charm of Taichung.
