Monga Night Market, Night market in Wanhua District, Taiwan.
Monga Night Market spans across three blocks with food stalls, massage services, and traditional Chinese herbal medicine shops arranged along brightly lit streets. The setup creates narrow walkways where vendors display their goods side by side.
The area was originally called Huaxi Street Night Market and shifted in the 1970s from a red light district into a hub for local food specialties and crafts. This transformation reshaped the district into a gathering place for eating and shopping.
The market sits within walking distance of Longshan Temple and the Bopiliao historic quarter, forming a neighborhood where traditional Taiwanese customs remain part of daily life. You can observe how older craft methods and recipes continue to be passed down through generations.
The market is located near Longshan Temple MRT station on the blue line, making it straightforward to reach by public transport. Visit after sunset when most stalls are open and the place fills with people.
Three food stalls here have received Michelin recognition for serving regional dishes like pork broth and gua bao wraps. This distinction reflects how street food at this location meets professional cooking standards.
