Huashi Street Night Market Introduction
"Is anyone interested in eating snake gallbladder or drinking snake blood?" This phrase is usually only heard in Huaxi Street Night Market. Huaxi Street Night Market is the first tourist night market in Taiwan, located near Longshan Temple in Taipei. It primarily sells various mountain products, seafood, and exotic snacks, making it one of the most beloved attractions for both domestic and international tourists. Each evening, visitors can often be seen with travel guides searching for delicious food. In the past, this location was famous for snake slaughter performances, earning it the nickname "Snake Street." Nowadays, with a growing awareness of conservation, most vendors have transformed into serving health-oriented snake dishes, challenging the courage of diners. The traditional Chinese archway at the entrance of the night market and the red lanterns along the way are highly distinctive. Many shops are well-established, with over 30 years of history, ensuring both reputation and quality. Among the many delicious dishes are the sweet soup from Beigang, the rice noodle soup from Yongbo, the bone-cleared goose meat from Hanji, braised pork rice from Ayih, and traditional mixed noodles from A-eh. Each of these traditional snacks, reminiscent of dishes from a neighborly grandma, offers a nostalgic and delightful taste. We welcome you to come and taste them yourself!
