Our Journey:

We have been to Liaoning Street Night Market once. It is a unique night market in Taiwan because of the number of restaurants in the street. Many of the restaurants are not stalls but built in shops and there is a larger market area with multiple stalls built in. Note that there is no pedestrian area, so cars and scooters will drive through here. However if you are a seafood lover, this is the place to be. 

View of Xinyi District as I rode off in search of Liaoning Night Market. 

All of the sudden, Liaoning Street Night Market appeared in front of me. There are two market-type stall areas on either side of the road here, with traffic allowed to pass. 

Right on the corner here is a bento shop.

On the other corner is a fried rice shop. 

Further down the street, you will see a row of seafood restaurants that sell fresh seafood at round tables. This is a high-end meal that you will want to share with friends. 

Two more seafood restaurants across the street. 

Rice and noodles shops next to each other. 

On the corner here is a Danzi noodle shop (擔仔麵).

Danzi Noodles usually consist of shrimp, rice noodles or wheat noodles, cilantro, garlic, and bean sprouts. 

Nearby here is a jellied tofu dessert shop. 

There are too many shops here to introduce one by one, but there are many dessert shops selling ice, Mochi, and jellied tofu. 

Goose meat and Rechao shop. 

More seafood restaurants further down the street. 

Large seafood and goose shops further down.

The Danzi Noodle Shop is very photogenic. 

Right across from the Danzi Noodle shop you can find Fuju Temple, which dates back to the 1800s, and is what started this market in the first place.
