Chinese culinary treats can be obtained at any of the food stalls in Taiwan's streets, alleys and night markets. Taiwanese and foreigners alike can sample Chinese snacks ranging from sweet desserts to hearty sausages. If you have a stomach for dumplings, noodles, buns, or something more exotic, make a trip to the famed night market in Kee-lung for an eye-dazzling, mouth-watering extravaganza.

 

If you haven’t visited a night market you’re missing something unique. Huaxi Street (aka Snake Alley) is the designated tourist night market and has a colorful history beneath the modern day draping, take the MRT to the blue line station Longshan Temple. Shilin night market is the largest night market in Taipei and located on the MRT red line Jiantan station. If you go after dinner on a Friday or weekend be prepared to fight the crowds.
