Keelung Temple Mouth Introduction
Keelung Temple Night Market is located in the center of Keelung City, conveniently just a ten-minute walk from the train station and the bus terminal. Due to its convenient transportation, delicious food, and diverse culture, it is favored by tourists. The Keelung Temple Night Market has been recognized by the Tourism Bureau as the "Friendliest Night Market" and the "Most Delicious Night Market." The history of Keelung Temple Night Market dates back to the late Japanese colonial period, and its rise is closely related to the century-old Dianzih Temple. At that time, the flourishing Dianzih Temple served as the foundation for the early economic development of the night market, attracting a continuous flow of worshippers and fishermen, which brought prosperity and growth to the area. The subsequent food business opportunities also drove the development of the entire business district, forming the well-known century-old night market we see today. With its proximity to the ocean, Keelung City has developed its own local specialty foods, including tempura, sandwiches, "ding bian cuo" (a type of pancake), butter crab, fresh seafood, and braised eel soup, all of which can be found in the night market. The vibrant and diverse culture of Keelung Port has also brought various international cuisines that await travelers to explore. The wide variety of food available at the night market ranges from hearty dishes such as "ding bian cuo," sandwiches, chicken rolls, bean vermicelli soup, braised pork rice, and pig's trotter soup to delightful snacks like tempura, sausages, and bubble ice, earning it the title of "Best in Taiwan." During your next visit to Keelung, consider stopping by the Temple Night Market at sunset for a sensory feast of flavors. (Source: Keelung Tourism Website)
