Zhongxiao Night Market

The Zhongxiao Night Market (忠孝夜市) in Taichung is well-known for its vibrant nightlife and is a popular destination for locals. It is also the birthplace of many well-known Taiwanese restaurant brands, such as the famous ""Tripod King Hot Pot"". Must-try dishes at the night market include stinky tofu, oyster vermicelli, and egg omelet rice, as well as freshly squeezed fruit drinks. Additionally, due to the proximity of numerous Buddhist and Taoist temples, there are nearly ten vegetarian restaurants nearby, offering a wide variety of vegetarian options including fried foods, set meals, fast food, noodle stalls, dumplings, and even barbecue.

As the night market is developed along the road, visitors should be cautious of vehicles and scooters from all directions while strolling through. Zhongxiao Night Market (忠孝夜市) is primarily focused on food, with fewer game and miscellaneous goods vendors. Due to its proximity to Chung Hsing University, it is common to see many university students coming here for dinner or supper. After savory snacks, visitors can also indulge in the famous sweet bean curd dessert within the night market.
