Shilin Night Market Introduction
Shilin Night Market is the largest night market in Taipei and a must-visit destination for international tourists. It is located near the Jiantan MRT Station and covers a vast area, which can be divided into two main sections. One is the streets around the traditional Yangming Theatre, including the area near Daan Road and Cixian Temple; the other side is the newly operated Shilin Market at No. 101, Jihhe Road. Visitors to the night market primarily focus on food and shopping, with a wide variety of unique and fun products and delicacies that attract large crowds. This unique night market culture is an essential part of Taipei's nightlife. The most famous offerings are the diverse street food, which can be considered a collection of Taiwanese cuisine, such as the golden oversized fried chicken, the fragrant "Hao Da Da Fried Chicken" that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; addictive skewered grilled items; aromatic "Shilin Long Sausage"; juicy "Shanghai Pan-Fried Buns"; "Spring Rolls" filled with braised pork and egg; the sweet and savory "Big Pancake with Small Pancake" that has a chewy texture; the piping hot "Herbal Pork Rib Soup" for nourishment; and unique delicacies like stir-fried squid, frog eggs, "Three Brothers Tofu Pudding," scallion pancakes, and cold noodles, all of which are mouthwatering snacks that entice visitors to linger and enjoy.
