Crowded and not really pleasant

This is a very full market area mixing shops with stalls, trash with decent shops, smells that are distinctly on the nose with some really delicious smelling food areas. We ate at a large stall with extensive metal hot plate area where four or five cooks produced mostly delicious seafood, it was so good we returned. The underground area has gone and is completely open presumably to be renovated.

Not for claustrophobic people. There are so many night markets in Taipei, this one is all mixed up, food with games, too hectic. One interesting vendor among others is selling suckling pig.

Extremely cheap food and wide selection of local delicacies. I could swallow the whole market. My fav is the frying milk.

This is our second night market. Our first one was Ningxia Night Market. That one was a single short street with great food. This one is a whole lot different! This is huge!!! With tons to look at. Shops, games and food. We got lost in the area. Lots of fun. We got our souvenirs there too. A must see for first time Taipei visitor.
