Huaxi Street Night Market Introduction
"Would anyone like to eat snake gall or drink snake blood?" This phrase usually appears only in the Huaxi Street Night Market. Huaxi Street Night Market is Taiwan's first tourist night market, located near Longshan Temple in Taipei. It primarily sells various mountain products, seafood, and exotic delicacies, making it one of the most beloved attractions for both domestic and international tourists. As dusk falls, it is common to see visitors searching for delicious food with their travel guides. In the past, this area was famous for its snake shows, earning the nickname "Snake Street." However, under the growing conservation awareness, most shops have transformed into establishments focusing on healthy snake dishes, challenging diners’ courage. The traditional Chinese archway at the entrance of the night market and the red lanterns along the way are distinctive features. Many shops are well-established, with over 30 years in business, ensuring both reputation and quality. From Beigang sweet soup’s roasted mochi, Yongbo’s rice noodle soup, Hanji’s bone-peeled goose, Ayi’s braised pork rice, to A’e’s traditional assorted noodles… the list of delicious foods goes on and on. These traditional snacks, reminiscent of grandma’s cooking, are all tasty and nostalgic. You are welcome to come and try them!
