Jilin Night Market Introduction
Jilin Night Market has a history of nearly 50 years and is located near Kaohsiung's rear railway station, adjacent to Kaohsiung Medical University, Sanmin Park, and Dalian Shoe Street. Centered around Jilin Street, it extends to surrounding areas including Shiquan Road, Rehe Street, Yongji Street, and Shenyang Street, collectively known as the "Kaohsiung Medical Circle." The market mainly features a variety of delicious street food, including soup dumplings, fried chicken, braised dishes, shrimp noodles, bubble tea, shaved ice with mixed toppings, dumplings, and red bean pancakes. Due to intense competition and its proximity to academic institutions, it is known for offering large portions at affordable prices without sacrificing taste, making it a top choice for local residents, students, and office workers. In recent years, Jilin Night Market has also become one of the popular night markets for tourists, with visitors staying at nearby hotels walking to the market daily to enjoy authentic Taiwanese snacks. Looking eastward from Rehe Street in Jilin Night Market, the 50-story Chang Gu World Trade Center stands prominently at the end of the straight street, creating a unique urban landscape within the night market.
