Where do Taiwanese people go at night?
Night markets have existed in Taiwan for over a century and are often located on the street in front of a temple or on main roads in cities. The night market is highly competitive for businesses, and Good Eye Taipei, a new bilingual Taipei city guide, recommends three night markets to discover delicious food.
