Big night markets are a lot of the same. You need to visit small town night markets that are only open once a week. My wife's hometown nightmarket is only on Saturday. They have the kid rides and games as well as the cheap clothes and food. Also, I am with Rose, Taiwanese sausages are best plain. At most rub some garlic on it. The flavor of the meat is the best. We make our own sausage here to get that flavor. One thing you didn't try that is one of my night market favorites is TakoYaki. I know it is more Japanese, but that is also part of Taiwan's heritage.
Oh I see. This is good to know. It sounds like night market in Taiwan is like “farmer’s market” in Canada. It’s not for pictures and trendy drinks, it’s to get fresh food for the week directly from the farmer (or someone pretending to be a farmer..)
haha thanks but I don't think my Chinese is good enough for an entire video

@@Prozzie you are too humble! In fact, the audience does not need your Mandarin to be perfect, perfection is boring!

Are tourists welcome? I understand you say it’s (main?) purpose is not tourism, but should a tourist not go? Or maybe it’s more like a “farmers market” in Canada where it’s more like a grocery store than a restaurant stall. It would be strange if tourists took over the store in Canada where I get my food too!
You're right for the most part - that most "type of food" you can find in night market across major cities in Taiwan are more or less the same. But if you pay attention to the food then you could find that each night market usually specialize in certain food then others - for instance you could find amazing 胡椒餅 in 饒河夜市 that you couldn't pretty much in most other night markets. And you could find the best oyster dish that's not the same as other places. So for me I look for the specialties in these night markets
60年代古早味,不是這家店已開60年。 It tastes like the 1960s, but it’s not that this store has been open for 60 years.😊

Exactly, it literally says the "old school flavor of the '60s". However, it probably refers to the taste of the 民國 60 era meaning the 1970s, thanks (^_^)

The Night Market in Hualien is my favourite, there's alot more stuff to do with games and sometimes live music. You can also get some aboriginal style food that's not seen in night markets in Taipei/Taichung
From a Taiwanese's perspective, with a lot of experiences fooling around the night markets over the whole Taiwan, I would say each night market has its signature foods and a variety of mixed business, it's interesting to explore the differences between each other and find new stuff from time to time. That's how Taiwan night markets evolve and thrive over the time with the creativity from local people.

I love Taiwanese fruits. It’s one of the things that are overlooked in KZitemrs travel videos about Taiwan. There’s so much and they’re ridiculously ripe and good. Yeah I feel night markets are mostly the same but nice when I want night market foods haha. I think Taipei has a few markets that have a more special food shop unique to that market that I haven’t had before. So I do want to go try them out.

sanya still had some small night markets. im sure you can still find some off the beaten path around china. I found one in Shanghai in the middle of nowhere, but it was completely depressed. we didnt buy anything lol my girlfriend being from harbin, thought it was very strange. but they do try to sneakily vend some noodle, fruits, etc under some bridges in the outskirts of shanghai. it reminded me of the good ol days. but ive been back to canada a year now. hoping to come to taiwan and try living there again. i lived there for a year in 2013 before the mainland.

6:30 The signboard reads: 【The nostalgic flavor was popular in Taiwan in the 1960s】 Not that shop's been here for 60 years. 😂 I think your observations about night markets in Taiwan are very accurate. This is indeed like a domino effect, and people used to think that the first domino was Fengjia Night Market, where many of the latest night market things would be created, and then similar ones would appear all over Taiwan very soon. However, the current situation has changed a bit, and it has become a street vendor that appears on China’s TikTok and Xiaohongshu. Such vendors will soon appear in Taiwan’s night markets. (Sorry, I used Google translation, which may make the content less accurate)

The night market in hualian is pretty unique, the greenery, the square and lights when those are setup, the singing, the fighter jets overhead, the dog that helps sell quava, the ”我是垃圾桶“, fan fair is kind of the same but there is a unique feel to the place for sure that differs from some of the other night markets. Personal favorite markets are in old streets, not really night markets so much, its very cosy. 10/10, the night markets in larger cities they have their feel to them but you kind of need to go to a few and often to get the 'feel'

Night markets do tend to have similar types of stores. And it is as you say, any good ideas are copied to other night markets. With night market's barrier to entry being pretty low, the effect propagates quite fast. But I think this is not much different from malls, where similar effects can be observed, just slower. So instead of looking generally, one should at the standout stalls to differentiate night markets.

Please to visit the "old" night market in Taiwan. How to know the night market is old? Normally, that locate near the old temple. The night market near the university normally quite new to compare the night market near the temple and sell the similar stuffs. Keelung 廟口 night marke, 饒河 night market and some older night market in Taipei are really it owns unique style. Unfortunately, Taichung is a new city compare to other big city in Taiwan. So doesn't have much old night market The 忠孝 night market or 中華 night market might barely could count...

I am really confused, why do you guys say "no night markets no street food" in China? what is your definition of "night market" or street food? just by watching other KZitemrs' video, I see there are tons of street food and night markets, e.g. the muslim street in Xi'an is famous for its street food. And there are a lot of similar streets in different cities of China.

Hi I am a native Taiwanese, which may explain why all night markets in Taiwan sell similar items. In Taiwan, night markets are part of civilian life. They are not a place exclusive for tourists. Before 1980, Taiwan was lacking in materials. Night markets brought cheapness, speed, and above-average hygiene (disposable tableware) to the people at that time. People are entertained and satiated. Of course, as Taiwan progresses, night markets have gradually transformed into tourist attractions. I hope I can explain it clearly to tourists coming to Taiwan and make you smile.
