Overall a nice and cozy night market to visit the next trip your...

Communal eating here is convivial, you strike up conversations with locals and tourists alike and a few locals bought different dishes for me to try! I was very impressed by the hospitality and generosity of the taiwanese. I especially like this market because it is more relaxed than the others, not as...
