Yansan Tourist Night Market

The "Yansan Tourist Night Market," located next to Taipei Bridge, was formerly known as "Daqiaotou Night Market" and "Taipei Bridge Night Market." Its stalls are spread along both sides of the road. In its early days, as Taipei Bridge served as a major transportation hub connecting New Taipei and Taipei, countless laborers seeking a livelihood gathered here, fostering a food culture that emphasizes "filling, delicious, and authentic flavors." The most irresistible charm of this night market lies in its high concentration of long-standing stalls, many operating for three or four decades, where every bite showcases exquisite craftsmanship passed down through generations. Here, your senses will be assaulted by a powerful blast of traditional delights: golden crispy chicken rolls burst with juice upon biting; sweet and fresh marlin vermicelli soup reveals the purity of seafood; and sticky, flavorful tube rice pudding paired with its special sauce is an absolute perfect match. If you prefer a hearty texture, fried pork intestine and gua bao (steamed bun sandwich) will surely satisfy your palate, while the beef noodle soup with its perfect balance of lean and fatty meat is a classic for late-night dining. Finally, don't forget to try the round, pure sugar mochi or fresh meat tangyuan (glutinous rice balls). Watching the mochi tumble in peanut powder is a therapeutic sight, and their sweet flavors will provide a perfect conclusion to this feast. Travelers are recommended to take the MRT to Daqiaotou Station, then walk along Yanping North Road, eating your way from start to finish. On this street, devoid of excessive packaging and brimming with local charm and authentic gourmet food, let your taste buds carefully read the historical memories of old Taipei.
