"Midnight Market Madness in Tainan Night markets are a quintessential Taiwan experience. Young couples, families, retirees, and swarms of teenagers descend upon these markets to graze, gossip, flirt, play, and graze some more. Lately, the ones in Taipei have been over-run by camera-toting tourists. For a real local experience, head to the charming town of Tainan. Generally laid-back and filled with colonial relics left behind by the Dutch and Japanese, Tainan also has one of the liveliest--and most local--night markets I've been to in recent years. Plunge into the food stall section and try specialties like oyster omelets, hand-made mochi filled with peanut or black sesame, and sausages made with sticky rice. Then head over to the cacophonous games section and watch punters try their luck for an enormous stuffed animal. (The kiddie ping-pong version of pachinko is particularly amusing/perturbing.) Had enough? Push you way back through the crowds and if you're in luck, you'll find the vendor selling the most exquisite pink guava mixed with sour plum powder."

Buzzing, interesting night market with lots of different stalls. Much to choose from. It's packed but people are chill, not irritable. Except when you sit at tables meant for certain stalls, which you don't intend to eat from. The stall holders are quite possessive but it's not a big deal in the end. Just stand up apologetically and move off. Very enjoyable. Worth a visit. We were told by our Uber driver, cross the road to the Starbucks across the street as your pick up point. Easier for the driver to find you. It's a very nice Starbucks anyway. Lots of good seats.

Among the biggest night markets I've visited. I can see the place is separated into two sections, food and the other of clothing, games and accessories. Indeed, there are too many food stalls for one to stomach in a single night. I also noticed some same stalls from Da Dong Night Market (大東夜市) were here too.

Really interesting market with a huge variety of food and fun on offer. Lots of small, authentic dishes cooked by hundreds of vendors on an open air site. Amazing opportunity to sample a wide range of Taiwanese and other Asian food, then do some shopping at the many stalls and follow up with some fun at the fair! Really worth a visit if you have the chance.

It is the biggest local night market and it’s the most crowded one too. You get to experience different types of food stalls and exotic food. If you order takeout, the only place to trash the bag after you finish your food is outside the public restrooms.

Huge variety of food stalls and it is very crowded. Spoilt with choices and im sure you don’t have enough stomach to try all the food. Some foods are just average though. There are clothing, games and other stalls for shopping. A must try when u are in Tainan.

Really vibrant night market, first one that I've seen in Taiwan that is not along a street, it's actually located in a huge car park lot. Great mix of food, clothing,electronics and games stations. Mainly came for the food!

I was amazed by the foods because it's my first time. I love the stinky tofu, squid and tanghulu. You must visit this place.

a huge night market with so many food varieties. It’s definitely the must-go night market in Tainan. I loved the stinky tofu I ate at one of the stalls, probably one of the best I’ve eaten in Taiwan. I recommend calling an Uber there because it gets really crowded especially on the weekends. There’s a Starbucks right across the street and that’s a good place to get picked up or dropped off.
