Shilin Night Market Introduction
Shilin Night Market is the largest night market in Taipei and a must-visit for international tourists coming to the city. It is conveniently located near the Jian Tan MRT Station and covers a vast area that can be divided into two main sections: one being the streets surrounding the traditional Yangming Theater, including the vicinity of Daan Road's Ciyuan Temple; the other section is the newly operated Shilin Market at No. 101 Jihe Road. Most visitors to the night market primarily come for food and shopping, with a variety of unique and fun products and delicious street food attracting large crowds. This distinctive night market culture is an essential part of Taipei's nightlife. The night market is famously known for its diverse array of food offerings, which can be considered a mini-collection of Taiwanese delicacies, such as the golden oversized chicken steak, the fragrant "Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken" that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; addictive grilled skewers; aromatic "Shilin Large Pork Sausage"; soup-filled "Shanghai Pan-Fried Bun"; the "Spring Roll" filled with braised pork and egg; the sweet and savory "Big Cake Wrapped Small Cake" that is chewy; steaming hot "Herbal Pork Rib Soup" for a nourishing boost; as well as unique dishes like stir-fried squid, frog eggs, "Three Brothers Tofu Pudding," scallion pancakes, and cold noodles, all of which are mouthwatering snacks that keep people lingering and unwilling to leave.
