Shilin Night Market Introduction
Shilin Night Market is the largest night market in Taipei City and a must-visit for international tourists in Taipei. It is conveniently located near the Jiantan MRT Station and covers a vast area that can be divided into two main sections: one is the streets around the traditional Yangming Theater, including the area around Danan Road and Ciyuan Temple; the other side features the newly operated Shilin Market at No. 101 Jihe Road. Most visitors come to the night market primarily for food and shopping, as it offers a wide variety of unique and interesting products and delicacies that attract large crowds. This unique night market culture is an essential part of Taipei's nightlife. The most famous aspect is undoubtedly the diverse range of street foods, which can be considered a collection of Taiwanese delicacies. Examples include the golden, oversized fried chicken steak from "Hot Star Fried Chicken," the addictive grilled skewers; the fragrant "Shilin Sausage"; the soup-filled "Shanghainese Pan-Fried Buns"; the "Spring Roll" packed with braised pork and egg crepe; the sweet and savory "Big Cake with Small Cake" with a chewy texture; the warm "Herbal Pork Rib Soup" for nourishment; as well as unique dishes like sautéed squid, frog eggs, "Three Brothers Tofu Pudding," scallion pancakes, and cold noodles, all of which are mouthwatering snacks that make visitors linger and reluctant to leave.
