Gongguan Night Market
A student-area night market around National Taiwan University, known for gua bao, taro desserts and quick snacks right by Gongguan MRT.
Gongguan Night Market grows out of the busy streets around Gongguan MRT Station and National Taiwan University. It is a convenient, food-focused stop that draws students and locals more than tour groups.
What to expect
Stalls and small shops line the streets near Roosevelt Road, selling hot snacks, drinks and desserts to a steady stream of commuters. It is easy to grab a bite and keep moving, which makes it a good pit stop between sights in southern Taipei.
What to eat
Gua bao (Taiwanese pork belly buns) and taro-based desserts are the classic picks. You will also find fried chicken, grilled sausages, stinky tofu and bubble tea.
Visitor tips
- Most stalls run from late afternoon into the late evening.
- Getting there: Gongguan Station on the Songshan-Xindian Line is right beside the market.
- Hours vary by stall, so check before you go.
