Why Shilin Night market is special ?
Shilin Night Market is Taipei’s largest and best-known night market in Shilin district with utmost in convenience having MRT Jiantan Station nearby. Previously operated on Jihe Road, right across MRT Jiantan Station in Shilin District, the famous Taipei Shilin Night Market has moved from its temporary site to its newly reconstructed home on December. The new Shillin Night Market is set on Danan Rd. by Zicheng Temple (Zichenggon), which takes about a 5-10 minute walk from MRT Jiantan Station.
Shilin Night Market is not only the most popular Taipei night market for the locals, but also a must-visit Taipei attraction for oversea travelers during their visit to Taipei. Shilin Night Market is famed for a wide array of authentic Taiwan eateries and fashionable clothing.

Tips for you

This I feel is the best night market for you the occasional Taipei visitor and you may favorably even catch a free bus from Miramar Mall (the one with the Ferris Wheel on top) - it is representative of every doohickey and contraption that you will ever see in the western world ("Ahh yeah, I saw those in the night market in Taipei when I was there selling for less than a buck... how much did you pay again?") and has a cross section of outpouring from whacked out platform shoes and skin tight clothing, t-shirts replete with obligatory missspelinks, a ton of food (hold your breath for the stinky tofu it can burn your nose hairs out) a temple and the must visit underground food court (be brave, you only live once AND you might likely live to tell about it...) It can get ludicrously crowded with movement in tiny ant steps and divided flows, forcing you to pre-plan any exit from your lane or.... you don't get off until much later than intended - the center stalls, displays or carpets in middle of the street are indeed illegal and you would be blessed if "the inspector" arrives because you will experience a magic trick without comparison - the entire center obstructions disappears in LESS than a blink of an eye so fast that if you look one way it will be gone by the time you look back. The inspector walks suitably slow, allowing the shock wave of his presence to take full effect and we followed behind him because as it was phenomenally easier to navigate in his wake - everybody knows him very well - what a hoot! There isn't a restaurant I would recommend after more than a dozen visits - just snack your way through the stalls and pay careful attention to the long line at the fried ('I do not know what it is') stall on the corner... Haven't tried bubble tea? It's your turn - Ditto the stinky tofu... You are supposed to haggle but you can't beat the locals purchasing prowess, so roll with it - kick back and enjoy the wild authentic experience - it is THE thing (next to movie or mall going) of the young and dating crowd and you really shouldn't leave without having smelled and tasted it for bench mark reference and be able to bore your friends with the exuberant retelling of "that time you went to Shihlin Nightmarket in Taipei....and did I tell you...?"
Awesome night market style food. The place is modeled after the shilin night market in Taipei. The entire place is cash only though.
