Keelung Temple Night Market Introduction
Keelung Miaokou Night Market is located in the urban area of Keelung City, easily accessible within a ten-minute walk from the train station and the bus station. Due to its convenient transportation, diverse cuisine, and rich culture, it is favored by tourists. The night market has been recognized by the Tourism Bureau as the "Most Friendly Night Market" and the "Most Delicious Night Market." The history of Miaokou Night Market dates back to the late Japanese colonial period, with its rise associated with the century-old temple "Dianji Temple." At that time, the flourishing Dianji Temple laid the foundation for the early economic development of the night market, bringing prosperity through the steady stream of worshippers and fishermen. The ensuing food opportunities further spurred the development of the entire business district, leading to the renowned century-old night market we see today. Surrounded by the ocean, Keelung City has also developed its unique local delicacies, including tempura, sandwiches, Ding Bian Cuo, butter crabs, fresh seafood, and braised eel soup, all of which can be found at the night market. The vibrant culture from the Port City has brought in diverse international cuisines waiting for travelers to explore. The variety of foods at the Miaokou Night Market ranges from hearty meals like Ding Bian Cuo, sandwiches, chicken rolls, bean noodle soup, braised pork rice, original pork knuckles, and braised eel soup, to delicious snacks such as tempura, sausages, and bubble ice. Its wide variety has earned it the title of "Champion of All Taiwan." The next time you visit Keelung, be sure to stop and experience a sensory feast of flavors as you stroll through the night market at sunset. (Source: Keelung Tourism Website)
