Huaxi Street Night Market

Huaxi Street Night Market is too famous among foreign visitors. Maybe you know more about the blocks than I do. This is the first market aiming at tourists in Taiwan. This market probably has hundreds of years of history. The location, Wanhua (Manka), used to be the third largest port in Taiwan, second to Tainan and Lukang. After the tourism business prevailed in Taiwan, Huaxi night market lost its prime time, but it is still a popular one because the most famous temple in Taipei, Manka Longshan Temple, is right next to the market. The most famous food here is of course the snake and softshell meals. People are saying that these foods are good for defying the poison in human body. Except for the not-so-loved-now exotic snake soup, there are also many other delicacies here. Oyster omelet can be found elsewhere, but according to my tongue, they are all different in texture and taste. The famous Danzi noodles are also originated here. Many Japanese are fond of the food. There are also bowl rice cake from Tainan, jelly with lemonade, and wine shrimps. You probably won’t go wrong finding food for most restaurants here have lasted for more than thirty years. After visiting Longshan temple and many other temples around the area, Huaxi Night Market is the best final destination of your day.
