Keelung Miaokou Introduction
Keelung Night Market is located in downtown Keelung, with a convenient transportation location just a ten-minute walk from the train and bus stations. Due to its convenient transport, diverse food offerings, and cultural richness, it is popular among tourists. Keelung Night Market has also been rated by the Tourism Bureau as the "Most Friendly Night Market" and the "Most Delicious Night Market." The history of Keelung Night Market dates back to the late Japanese colonial period, and its rise is related to the century-old Dianziji Temple. At that time, the flourishing Dianziji Temple served as the foundation for the early economic development of the night market, attracting an endless stream of worshippers and fishermen, which brought prosperity and abundance to the area. This in turn created business opportunities for food vendors, leading to the development of the now-famous century-old night market. Being a coastal city, Keelung has also developed its local特色 cuisine, including tempura, sandwiches, Ding Bian Cuo, creamy crab, fresh seafood, and braised eel soup, all of which can be found in the night market. The vibrant and diverse culture of Keelung Harbor also brings in foreign culinary delights just waiting for travelers to explore. With such a wide variety of food offerings—from hearty dishes like Ding Bian Cuo, sandwiches, chicken rolls, bean vermicelli soup, braised pork rice, original pork trotters, to tantalizing snacks like tempura, sausages, and bubble ice—the night market has earned the reputation of being "the best in Taiwan." The next time you visit Keelung, consider taking a moment to step into Keelung Night Market during sunset for a delightful sensory feast. (Source: Keelung Tourism Network)
