The night market has been designated by the tourism bureau as the "Friendliest Night Market" and "Most Delicious Night Market." The history of Keelung Temple Night Market can be traced back to the late Japanese colonial period, with the rise of the night market being related to the century-old temple "Dianji Temple." At that time, the thriving Dianji Temple served as the foundation for the early economic development of the night market, with a steady stream of worshippers and fishermen bringing prosperity and flourishing business opportunities, leading to the development of the well-known century-old night market. Keelung, relying on the ocean, has also developed its own local specialties, such as tempura, sandwiches, ding bian cuo, crab with cream, fresh seafood, and braised eel soup, all of which can be found in the night market. The vibrant and diverse culture of Keelung Port City has also attracted international cuisines waiting for travelers to discover. The variety of food available at the night market includes hearty dishes like ding bian cuo, sandwiches, chicken rolls, bean vermicelli soup, braised pork rice, original pig's trotter, and braised eel soup, as well as tempting snacks like tempura, sausages, and bubble ice. Its extensive variety has earned it the title of "Best in Taiwan." So, the next time you visit Keelung, take a moment to step into the Temple Night Market at sunset and indulge your senses in a feast of flavors. (Source: Keelung Tourism Website)
