Shilin Night Market Introduction
Shilin Night Market is the largest night market in Taipei City and a must-visit tourist attraction for international visitors to Taipei. Located near Jiantan MRT Station, it occupies a vast area and can be divided into two main sections: one is the streets surrounding the traditional Yangming Theatre, including the area around Daan Road and Cihuan Temple; the other is the newly operated Shilin Market at No. 101 Jihe Road. Most visitors to the night market come for the food and shopping, where various unique and fun products and delicious foods attract large crowds. This distinctive night market culture is an essential part of Taipei's nightlife. The most famous aspect is undoubtedly the diverse range of food stalls, showcasing a collection of Taiwanese delicacies such as the golden giant fried chicken, the fragrant "Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken" which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; addictive "grilled skewers"; aromatic "Shilin Large Sausages"; soup-oozing "Shanghainese Pan-Fried Buns"; "Spring Roll" filled with braised pork and egg; the sweet and savory "Large Pancake with Small Pancake" that is incredibly chewy; steaming "Herbal Pork Rib Soup" for nourishment; and unique dishes like stir-fried squid, frog eggs, Three Brothers Tofu Pudding, scallion pancakes, and cold noodles, all of which are mouth-watering snacks that entice people to linger and enjoy their time.
