Hongdao Street Night Market in Xizhi runs only two evenings a week, which keeps it firmly local.

What to expect

Stalls line the street on market nights and disappear the rest of the week. It is a place for an easy local dinner, not a sightseeing destination.

What to eat

Grilled skewers, fried chicken, noodle dishes and seasonal snacks from stalls that rotate through the area.

Visitor tips

  • Open Tuesday and Friday evenings only.
  • Reach Xizhi by the Taiwan Railway line from Taipei Main Station.
  • Check locally before a special trip, since small markets can shift their days.

Browse by country

Every country has its own collection, with the cities that have the most markets.
