Zhonghua Night Market Introduction
Zhonghua Road Night Market, located in the Zhong District of Taichung City along Zhonghua Road, is one of the earliest famous night markets in Taichung. It has existed for over 40 years and was one of the most bustling commercial areas in Taichung during the 1960s and 1970s. Over time, with the ups and downs of the economy and the relocation of the administrative center, it transformed into the 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 both the north and south, as well as international cuisines. Well-known snacks include the signature fresh oysters from Zhiwei stall, various porridge dishes, Tanzi stinky tofu, Chenji herbal tea store, Ah Shui's noodle stall, Milk King and sour plum juice, along with the famous international cuisine Bak Kut Teh from Singapore, which is also highly recommended as an old shop. After half a century of development, Zhonghua Night Market has gradually transformed into a tourist night market that blends traditional and modern styles, maintaining the classic flavors of old shops while incorporating new types of vendors, developing towards a more refined approach. Although it focuses more on preserving traditional characteristics compared to other younger night markets, its unique historical atmosphere allows visitors to experience rich Taichung culture and nostalgic charm here.
