Jilin Night Market (Jilin Night Market Food Street) Introduction
Jilin Night Market has a history of nearly 50 years and is located near the Kaohsiung HSR Station, adjacent to Kaohsiung Medical University, Sanmin Park, and Dalian Shoe Street. Centered on Jilin Street, it extends into the surrounding areas of Shiquan Road, Rehe Street, Yongji Street, and Shenyang Street, and is known as the "Kaohsiung Medical Circle." The market primarily offers a variety of street foods, including xiao long bao, fried chicken, braised food, shrimp noodles, bubble tea, eight-treasure ice, dumplings, and red bean pancakes. Due to fierce competition and its location in a school district, it is known for its affordable and generous portions without compromising on taste, making it a popular choice for local residents, students, and office workers. In recent years, Jilin Night Market has also become a popular destination for tourists, with many visitors staying at nearby accommodations walking to the market to sample authentic Taiwanese snacks. Looking east from Rehe Street in Jilin Night Market, the towering 50-story Chang Gung International Trade Building stands prominently at the end of the straight street, creating a unique urban landscape in the night market.
