Shilin
More than a hundred years ago, the Chuanchou people came to sell produce and fish in the Shilin area after surviving a standoff with a neighboring group. This is how Shilin Night Market, the biggest and oldest night market in Taipei, is said to have begun. You might feel like part of a train wreck trying to navigate the crowds on weekends. Shilin has a carnival-like atmosphere, with games like catching a goldfish using a tissue paper net (the goldfish is the prize), and shooting plastic cans with air rifles. You can find deals on clothing, shoes and other accessories here.
A maze of stalls in the market's heart offers delicious seafood dishes, like squid stew and oyster omelets. Remain calm if a stranger hovers over you while you eat-he's just waiting to take your seat when you're done.
Shilin Night Market is in Shilin District and accessible from the MRT Shilin stop.
