Ta-Tung Night Market

Ta-Tung Night Market is a night market in Tainan featuring ten rows of stalls where hundreds of vendors sell food, clothing, accessories, and traditional merchandise. The stalls span across both sides of the market, with different product categories occupying distinct sections.

The market began operations at the start of the 2000s and grew quickly in popularity among locals and visitors. Rising demand led to an expansion of operating days from two to three times per week.

The market follows a traditional Taiwanese layout that separates food vendors from merchandise sellers, reflecting how locals organize their shopping and dining habits. This arrangement shapes the rhythm of how people move through the space and interact with different types of stalls.

The market opens three days per week, making it easy to find a convenient visiting day during your stay. You can reach it by bus from the train station area or by walking if you have time to explore the surroundings.

The market is known for local specialties like sweet potato balls, slate-grilled meats, and milk tea served in plastic bags. These unusual serving methods show how vendors have created practical solutions for quick street food service.
