Jilin Night Market (Jilin Night Market Food Street) Introduction
Jilin Night Market has a history of nearly 50 years and is located near Kaohsiung's後火車站 (Hou Railway Station), adjacent to Kaohsiung Medical University, Sanmin Park, and Dalian Shoe Street. It primarily extends along Jilin Street and the surrounding areas of Shiquan Road, Rehe Street, Yongji Street, and Shenyang Street, and is known as the "Kaohsiung Medical Circle". The market mainly offers a variety of street food delicacies, including xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), chicken steak, braised snacks, shrimp noodles, bubble tea, eight-treasure ice, dumplings, and red bean cakes. Due to fierce competition and its location within an academic district, it is known for its affordable yet delicious options, making it a top choice for nearby residents, students, and office workers. In recent years, Jilin Night Market has also become a popular destination for tourists, with visitors from hotels near the Hou Railway Station walking to the market to savor authentic Taiwanese snacks. Looking eastward from the Rehe Street within Jilin Night Market, a straight street leads to the towering Chang Gu World Trade Center, standing 50 stories high, which presents a unique urban landscape within the market.
