Cingnian Night Market, Night market in Fongshan District, Taiwan
Cingnian Night Market is a marketplace in Fongshan District that spans several blocks with hundreds of stalls operated by local vendors. The site offers street food, clothing, accessories, and entertainment options, with each stall selling something different.
The market was founded in 1998 near Cingnian Road and relocated later to accommodate growing needs. The move to its current location between Ruixing Road and Bo'ai Road allowed the site to expand its operations.
This market serves as a gathering place where people come together in the evening to eat and socialize, following long-standing Taiwanese dining customs. You can see vendors preparing regional dishes like fermented tofu and seafood congee, techniques passed down through generations.
The market operates from Thursday to Sunday in the evening hours and has parking facilities nearby. It is best to arrive earlier in the evening when the full selection of stalls is available, as popular vendors can sell out quickly.
Vendors here prepare fermented tofu by braising it rather than frying, giving this Taiwanese classic a distinctive character. This cooking method is less common and produces a more subtle flavor that often surprises visitors.
