Nanjichang Night Market
A single pedestrian-only street of local food stalls in Taipei that gets packed with Taiwanese diners, reached by bus or ride-hailing rather than MRT.
Nanjichang Night Market is a favourite among Taipei locals. It consists of just one pedestrian-only street, which fills up with diners most evenings, and it is known for hearty Taiwanese street food such as oyster fritters.
What to expect
The single-street layout makes it easy to navigate, but it gets very crowded, so be prepared to queue for the most popular stalls. It feels less touristy than Shilin, and many of the customers are neighbourhood regulars.
Visitor tips
- Open daily from about 5 PM until midnight.
- There is no MRT station right at the market; the easiest way to reach it is by local bus or ride-hailing.
- Bring cash and arrive early if you want to avoid the longest lines.
