In its early days, Raohe Street prospered due to the deep waters of the Keelung River, which facilitated water transportation and vibrant commercial activities between Raohe Street and Songshan Train Station. Over time, the riverbed silted up, leading to decreased ship traffic and a decline in business operations. In 1987, it was developed into a 500-meter-long Raohe night market, becoming Taipei’s second tourist night market.
I invite you to join me on a culinary adventure through this captivating night market. This isn’t just a place to eat; it’s an immersion into the heart and soul of Taiwanese culture. From the moment you step into this bustling labyrinth of stalls, you’ll be captivated by the sheer energy and the sheer variety of sights and sounds.
