Located near Longshan Temple, Huaxi Street Tourist Night Market was the first tourist night market in Taiwan. Established in 1951, the night market has been in business for more than 60 years. Thanks to professional planning, information signs in English and Japanese can be seen almost everywhere in the market. As a result, the night market attracts many domestic and foreign tourists coming here for the delicious food.

A historic traditional Chinese ceremonial arch, with striking hanging red lanterns, stands at the entrance to the night market. The stores on both sides of the ceremonial arch are old, and possess outstanding reputations and quality. Apart from snack shops, there are many foot massage shops where your weary feet can receive pampering.

Apart from the attention-getting snake shops, the most eye-catching thing in the night market is the Tainan Tantsumien Seafood Restaurant, where authentic local snacks and fancy hotel decor come together. Moreover, foreign tourists invariably rave about the wide array of snack foods, including the oyster omelets, meat soups, sesame oil chicken, steamed rice cakes, Taiwanese meatballs, sautéed escargot, noodle soup with eel, and potsticker soup.

Are you drooling now? Hurry and visit Huaxi Street Tourist Night Market and taste authentic traditional Taiwanese snack foods. After you fill your belly, don’t forget to visit nearby Xiyuan Road, Buddhist Implement Street, for a different traditional industry experience.
