Liuhe Tourist Night Market

An open-air night market rising in the 1950s, Liuohe Tourist Night Market is the first pedestrian-only night market in southern Taiwan. Thanks to the convenient location, the night market is only a 10-minute walk to the train station. Along with Kaohsiung people's enthusiasm, the only three hundred meters long street has more than one hundred stalls on it, making it the most famous night market in southern Taiwan. In the past, many tourists from northern Taiwan and Japan were sure to visit here. However, as the number of tourists increase, plus the market's popularity among Chinese tourists, the quality of services provided here has declined. Dozens of affordable steakhouses still hang an impressive array of signboards, yet tourists no longer pack out the restaurants. Instead, the emerging Ruifeng Night Market and the traditional Ziqiang Night Market are now attracting more locals.
